That's pretty much what I do. It's not entirely accurate to say that I never let the camera chose the focus point, but that's a decent first approximation. > > Step #2: either focus on the center point and reframe, or learn how to > quickly shift the AF-point with the arrow buttons.

I'm using AF more with the K-5. Though I did just pick up a $20 split prism, because shooting with my K-x two weeks ago reminded me of how nice good manual focus is. All that being said, it would probably be worthwhile to dial in the AF adjustment on at least my most commonly used 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.
