Nice shot. That is some seriously shallow DOF. ----------------- J.C.O'Connell hifis...@gate.net -----------------

I bought a new focus screen from http://www.focusingscreen.com because the original was not sufficiently exact for manual focus with large aperture lenses. Using old gems like the A50mm 1:1.2 and A*85mm 1:1.4 was not very easy so I had to rely on focus confirmation from the camera. My old habit of focusing directly on the screen was hopeless. In addition you did not really get an impression of the background with the original screen. This picture was made using the S-type with AF frame, just focusing on the eyes. It really works a lot better. On the other hand the viewfinder becomes very dark using f/3.2 and f/4.0 lenses.
