No I don’t have one. But I can probably get one.  Thanks for that tip. I never even thought about doing that.

All of the pics I posted were straight out of camera. I am still trying to figure out how to edit using paintshop. I just feel so overwhelmed with it. Someone told me to try lightroom for editing or photoshop. Said that it might be easier to use. I have tried watching tutorials online on the post processing and it just seems to go over my head. I have a cousin who uses lightroom and photoshop all the time. I think the next time I go back to my home town I might have him show me a few things.  I tend to grasp things better when I do them hands on with someone verbally taking me step by step as I am doing it.

I remeber reading about that on the older lenses and how they were designed. I get frustrated with my camera sometimes when I am trying to manually focus and it enlarges the focal point and then goes back a few seconds later before I have it in focus. I do agree with you though that it is better to use auto focus instead of manual for most shots and using manual for macro.
