I don't plan to try it, since I don't like it when hunting AF makes a lens whomp into the stop.

But I wonder if most lenses end up around the infinity mark when they give up trying to focus?

I'd be surprised if you could get actual focus confirmation with any lens if you point it at genuinely featureless blue sky, or blank smooth wall.

perhaps a middle way would be if the images either side faded to black if you stay on a shot for more than a few seconds, but then faded up again when your mouse got near the arrow button. Reckon that would be pretty slick!
Excellent idea, I like it very much.

You should be doing stand-up

Am I the only one that hates the dimmed images next to the one you're looking at?

IMO it would be so much nicer to have the arrow buttons at the side, but be able to see the current one with a clean black background.

Strongly agree, good call.

All excellent advice, Tim, very close to my thinking...

Except....

Ah yes, sorry, I should have looked. Thanks.

Looking at their post count, I asked the wrong question, really, and the right one may not be easily answerable:

How many people per day make their first post?

I only ask because it may not be very many at all, and perhaps it really wouldn't be very much in the way of workload to moderate people's first post.

How many spammers get through to posting like they did this morning? One a month perhaps? That's a lot of threads polluted, and quite a few emails for updated threads.

I guess they might get wise, and post an innocuous one first. Not an easy call, I realise.

Question to the mods, out of curiosity..

How many new members does this forum get signing up per day, or per week perhaps?
