[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 440902, member: 27017"] I see what you are saying (I think). You are wanting to be able to lock in your exposure setting which you feel you are losing by setting the AE-L/AF-L button to BBF. In one way you are, but then again you really aren't if shooting in "M" mode. If I understand you, it is possible to set your exposure setting all manually (f-stop, Shutter Speed and ISO fixed not auto). Set it for the condition you want. Then once it is set you can use BBF. I realize you are wanting to lock the exposure with the AE-L and then let the shutter button focus when taking the photo. That works and may really be the best case scenario for the way you shoot. We have to determine what works best for the situations we are shooting in. I don't know if BBF will benefit your shooting scenarios and I see your dilemma and can't tell you what benefit one method will have over another. [/QUOTE]
