Hi James,

There's a lot of mixed reviews out there about the usefulness of the 
"focus confirm" adapters.  Some people think that they're the best 
thing since sliced bread and others find them close to useless.  I've 
had the latter experience when trying several on two different bodies.

The Fred Miranda Alternative Gear forum probably has the most traffic 
on the net on this subject and you can find some good links by 
searching the archives.  Here's a current one to get you started.
