"Also, I don't know much about it, but autofocus certainly can't work all the time. I did look at one of the Pentax links about how autofocus didn't really work with closeups (would usually be off), and that made sense to me. Though probably a lot of autofocus cameras are pretty good now.
But I keep having this nagging feeling "real photographers don't use autofocus. AF is great for action shots and irrelevant for still lifes, i.e., anything you either should or do use a tripod for at slow shutter speeds. One time you should never use it is macro work. At least in my case, it focuses faster than I do. Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
