ROFL that clip is brilliant, I'll send it to a printer tech I know... Yeah it is odd how I'm here bitching about AF crapola when after all I drank MF milk and shot mild action such as ramp and pipe skating then, too. MF is probably the way to go but is a K10D worth a split screen? Especially seeing I've already put a grid screen into it? Anyone want that for their K20D maybe? I guess the mistake lies in /relying/ on AF rather than just accepting that it is worthless when needed and slow when not... Cheers Ecke
