Tried what? I'm not sure what you mean by that, but in any event I have moved the thread to the correct section.

It must be. Samsung would be virtually zero for DSLR sales, Nikon possibly just edging above Canon and Sony some way behind them. I would expect Pentax to be on 6-7% and Olympus maybe 3-4%.

Actually when we think about it there are not that many DSLR manufacturers these days, and no really tiny players at all.

This is presumably all digital cameras. Do they have a breakdown for DSLRs and compacts?

Av should work with your lens. First set "Using Aperture Ring" to "permitted" and the shutter speed will vary according to the light level.

It may be that the lens will not expose accurately, but just adjust the exposure compensation if this is the case.

It's measuring a phase difference isn't it? When it finds the cancel-out point as received by the AF sensors it stops moving the lens. If the lens carries on a bit because of play in the mechanism then focus will be slightly out and could be corrected for.

However, this may vary depending upon how far the mechanism has travelled. Something whizzing from infinity to macro distances, for example, whould take more stopping than something whizzing from 1.2m to 1.0m

Then again, it may also vary depending on direction of travel. Going from macro to infinity will certainly be stopped pretty quickly when it hits the limit of travel.

Lots of variables and potential for error in an AF mechanism I suspect. However, focusing tests have shown that manual focus is also very unreliable, basically because the eye adapts and can be poor at judging the sharpest point. Try it. Focus on something, note the position of the lens. Focus again and note how different your second and subsequent choices are.

Fortunately despite all this getting normal, sharp images still seems to happen most of the time.

It's all relative - my current car now sports 202,000 miles on the clock. Granted, it's now on its second petrol engine, but overall still everything is in good nick.

The his 'n hers K5s took priority.

I don't see the point in asking when you already know the answer.

You're looking in the wrong place.

Thanks Matt, you as well!
