How sad, an affliction even worse than Zuikoholism. Will it get us all in
the end?

I've been using an autofocus compact zoom a lot recently (a Pentax 928) for
its portability, but when I went out testing my 'new' OM-2n last week I had
a distinct feeling of liberation upon finding that I'd got back control of
focus. What is sharp, what is unsharp, and by how much, is a creative
decision IMO and not one that should be left to a couple of diodes and a
motor, when there's time anyway.
