Re: Live view AF firmware upgrade for ZD 70-300

Agreed - most welcome - this ties in with recent comments about making sure all of the lens line-up will be imager-AF compatible.

Is there any technical reason why a lens wouldn't be able to use imager-AF? I assume the firmware update is about getting the correct set of parameters for a given lens to the body so that imager AF can work reliably (hence it isn't just a case of turning on a switch saying 'enable imager AF'!).
