I must have missed those ones. Anyway, suffice to say that >I< have primarily only seen good info and a cool head. If I\'m wrong: oh well, maybe he\'ll get it from this exchange and be less affronting. <shrug>

Yeah, I actually had a mistake and misread you saying this specifically about MF lenses - in which case you\'re right on! For AF/Digital tracking tho it depends on what kind of AF is employed for tracking. If it\'s phase-detection with a 2 dimensional area SIR (secondary image registration) chip like in my D2x or my A2 then it\'s probably going to rock!
