G'Mornin' Peter! You'll find that the 400 Telyt has a very short learning curve. Once you're used to it, it's very quick and accurate to focus. For everything but birds in flight, I've found it as good/fast as autofocus, and more accurate. Doug has even mastered the birds in flight bit! And, please, post some of your shots with it! Enjoy!
