AF points (7/9/45/??) and AF-assist

[coastalkid88]

I understand were you are coming from that you would like the focus points more spread out, but wouldn't the effects of the af assist beam just get worse

Is that correct

[wickerprints]

And just WHY does this cr*p matter Does this even effect any one I mean really.

Who needs more than 45 af points.

Fred, on the basis of the similarities in choice of grammar, style, content, and tone of the posts, as well as the posting frequency and behavior, I suspect "coastalkid88" = "Fink_studios," the poster who wrote inappropriate responses in the (now deleted?) 1D Mark IV thread. So no, I do not believe he is "new," just someone who is violating the Terms of Use of the forum.

There comes a time in every young forums life when he starts to experience changes. The first troll is a sign that the forum is reaching maturity. The first banning and thread deletion. Finally, the troll who comes back under a new name. We can now celebrate the forum's first day of new-found adulthood.
