The telescopic sight you mention is in some ways akin to zooming in with Liveview, and thus is a huge help with manual focusing. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I've not been able to use Liveview effectively when going handheld, so I tend to rely on the viewfinder which I'm finding challenging to focus with when shooting with this lens wide open. I need to experiment a bit with the techniques suggested by you and others in this thread and see if I can find a reliable workaround. I've found that simple things like bracing the body against a wall or other vertical object can greatly help control the rocking motion that seems to be my biggest challenge in nailing focus with this lens wide open.</p></blockquote><p></p>
