I'm gonna' give it a rest for awhile.

31. My issue isn't with half-push vs backbutton it's with the fact that the OM-1 doesn't have a detent

between aquireing focus/exposure and actually taking pictures. I consider that a flaw but as long as there's a work around I can deal with it.

Hand holding an 820 mm lens without IS is stupid hard. When I used half push to kick the IS in I was making exposures at 20 FPS. 10 seconds of waiting for the bird to strike a pose and I've got 200 frames with a bird doing NOTHING to edit. They don't take direction well. I spent a lot of time muttering 'work it baby, c'mon, work it, work it!' much to the delight of the birders around me.
