The subjects and I were both moving around enough, not quickly, but enough, that a simple zone focus probably wouldn't work. I think that what I was trying to do was use autofocus to get close enough and use depth of field to cover any slop. I don't seem to have used enough depth of field. I'll also need to try to dial in a couple of the lenses. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
