No problem at all with the R8DMR. ;) Cheers, Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Nichols" <jhnichols at lighttube.net> To: "LUG at Leica-Users.org" <lug at leica-users.org> Cc: "Olympus Camera Discussion" <olympus at thomasclausen.net> Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 3:20:08 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [Leica] IMG: Autofocus Nightmare While seeking an inhouse diversion on a very cold day, I set up a gray aircraft model in front of a black background, wanting to get a very low key image. I tried two different AF lenses on my E-510 and neither could lock on and hold focus on the subject. Perhaps it was the low light environment, but they kept changing focus, seeking something they liked. I grabbed a few shots that were roughly in focus, as well as a lot that were out of focus.
