lol "react so violently" - the response was desereved. Have a look at JohnRileys response - its a polite way of getting his point of view across. John is a master of tact. It's not one of my greatest skills, and I bow to him, as always, in that respect. However, I would politely point out th...

Thanks ‘Unlocker’, I had a go manually shifting the focus on the DA*300 (and DFA 100mm macro) while keeping the shutter release half pressed and it works a treat. :D I guess once the K10 has initially flagged the focus as ok you can move off focus and the shutter will still fire. No worries, thi...

George All I can say to your uncalled outburst is that unfortunately you appear to have missed the point of this topic completely :roll: I was solely interested in who uses manual or auto focus, simple as that. The term lazy is not meant as insult but used in a general term as you would jokin...

I'd like to quote a couple of lines from the interview with Benjamin Kanarek in the latest Pentax user mag. Page 11, last paragraph. "My advice to anyone is that when it comes to photography there is no right or wrong. If you want to totally blow out your highlights then do it, there is no-one wh...

If I'm trying to track a bird or plane through the air and the AF loses lock there's a good chance I'll lose the target completely. Using MF I may not always be in perfect focus but I'm always close enough to follow the subject, so I'll get another chance. One of the things I discovered at Farnborou...

Duroo72, You can't be paying much attention to this forum if you have missed Chris's quite splendid shot from Farnborough. It has received more plaudits than any other picture I have seen posted here, and I have been a member for a while. It is beautifully composed and exposed, full of drama,...

I really wanted to say fdcgfdsgfds gsdf, but I thought I'd be honest! For me it depends on the situation. If I'm handheld and want to get the picture fast then I use autofocus (centre or selective point). If I'm doing my flower macros with the tripod then I go manual. To me, it's all down to what yo...
