Thanks. It's happened to me. Never thought of that. I'll certainly give it a try.

I watched it earlier today. It was very enlightening and should be quite helpful.

Nice video, thanks! Would that center focus be as critical with mirrorless, or would all points be squal?

It probably depends on the camera, but I would think it would be closer with mirrorless than it is with a DSLR. Still, it would be interesting to test :)

Thanks Steve. I was focusing on something close and then switched to the subject for sharper focus. I'm gonna try your way next. Erik
