Jim,

I envy your good eyes!

Mines are no so good and will have cataract surgery, maybe the Ted's  
solution is the better one, all the time I loss focusing could be  
better with an autofocus, but I'm not used at all to the automatic  
cameras and I love have in my hands a M...

Hope everything is still better for you on the next two weeks

Saludos
Lluis
