If you look at the DOF tables on my website for the A1, you'll
see how this is quite true. There are other advantages too of
keeping the unit on manual focus in these conditions. It greatly
shortens shutter response time. BTW, the tables are correct for
any 2/3" sensor equipped camera.

My application is similar/identical to theatre, concerts, and
any other stage situation where you have restricted shooting
locations. I'd like to have had one more stop of light.
