Since the question of whether auto-focus is desirable or not has been
raised -- I haven't used AF, but my brother refuses to use one again.
It's too slow for action shots -- by the time it has focussed and the
shutter opens, the "picture" is gone.  And when shooting through closed
windows and the like, it focusses on the glass instead of the subject.
