Whatever rocks your boat but if you think it
through, a truly "old fashioned" protocol for
focus would NEVER link focus to the shutter
button. Focus was focus and shutter release
was shutter release. Thus we old fashioned
types can't stand entangling
anything with
the shutter release. Even the old meter-on
switch in the shutter button became a real
PITA when it evolved from a simple tap to
fire up the meter into that stoooopid "hold
the half press" on electro shutter releases.
If all cameras refocused every time I touch
the shutter release I'd hafta revert to a pin
hole body cap. Don't bother mentioning the
AF-L button ... create a problem and then
invent a patch up to address it ? Thatsux !
I know your one-shot method works for you
for birds. One-shot has always been the way
for birds, since long before photography ;-)
