AF focuses quite nicely. I got it partly because it had long been Salgato signature lens and I studied hard a show of his they had in Portland and loved what I perceived to be the look. This now on SS. " His assistant almost quit on his last trip from the constant battles.?So now it?s a Canon DSLR for him. 21 megapixels strong. But he is also looking at that new LeicaS2 with 37 megapixels.?And his ?film?? about 1.5 lbs of cards." http://www.examiner.com/x-4887-Photography-Examiner~y2009m6d17-Sebastiao-Sal gado--The-Genesis-Project And I see Canon does make a 60 mm EF-S Macro f/2.8. He could be using it. Or some mindless zoom like the rest of it.
