Steve, I was glad to see you received your bins and also glad to see that my guesses at the differences and similarities between the ELX and the ED were very close to your actual experiences.Hmm, then that leads to a big question. Which do you prefer?...ok, ok, give the Zen Ray a few more days and then comment.Kevin,For what it is worth I share your observations on focus. You have focusing tension and focusing speed. It requires a unique combination of each to provide at truly satisfying focus. Coupling this with depth of field makes it an even more interesting issue to discuss...don't you think? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
