Yeah, very good point.

Hans I notice you use a 400D. I can't remember exactly how the focusing works there. but I'm sure it's similar to my 40D.

Of course, you can pre-focus using AF, say on the apex of a corner and keep the shutter release button pressed halfway which works well. But as Craig said you can manually focus. What I like to do here is switch the lens to MF obviously. But if you press the shutter button half way (like you to to AF) the AF points will beep when they come in focus. This makes it dead easy to manaul focus, and unlike AF your focus point is not lost once you take your finger off the shutter button.

Really helps speed things up when using a slower lens.
