  • Have mirrorless still not matched top DSLRs for focusing??

    From RichA@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 5 21:49:41 2022
    I had a Pentax K2-S. It was NO focus speed demon. But, it could focus in time in near darkness. I don't use a Sony whose mirrorless are reputed to be the fastest.

    "Subject was a single model on a white background, exposure setting M, S
    1/160, F 11, Iso 100."

    Why do you need F11 to shoot some portraits?

    Not everyone goes for that "face only in focus" look.
