Boris, tell me more. You find other lenses @24 (primes or zooms)
easier to focus? I've always found wides hard to focus, the wider
the harder, at anythin

Hi Boris,
I've have the *ist D correction set right to
the end. If my eyes don't change I'll be
okay. But you're quite right; it should go a

design point of view. My problem is now the
other way round.

what I have been doing wrong lately, too much touch-up and faff. Sure,
it could be the camera or it could be the lens but I doubt it. Thanks
for the reminder.
Boris, 16-45?
Kostas, that is sensible suggestion. For n
Hi!
I have crappy eyes too. Good contrast when wide open is a big help.
I've not had a K24/2.8 to try. The A24/2.8 is fairly easy to focus for
me, but the FA20-35/4 is actually easier: it's got more contrast wide

Hi!
Get a diopter correction for your viewfinder.
*istD has sufficient diopter correction.
BTW, I have poor eyesight as well, and cannot use the finder in the istDS
and some other cameras while wearing my glasses. But by adjusting the
built-in diopter correction, I can use the camera very w
