dominique (and others): sorry! oh god!

i did'nt count my fingers correctly in my reply to this topic - take
care!!!!!!!
i wanted to write about the "thumb and the indication finger" for
focusing lenses without focusing-fork. and did NOT mean the
"indication and middle finger" - please don't try to operate like
this, it is very, very uncomfortable and also for me not "as
usual"...:-)

my middle finger actually rests on the front of the camera for a
little additional support. fingers nr. 4 and 5 stroke the RW-lever in
this occasion.

maybe it's to late for me after a trouble-full working day to give
clever suggestions in foreign languages... i swear improvement!.

take it easy, thomas
