>>>And I too use Spot with BBAF, but I keep it in Servo so I can track that spot if need be (and if I need to lock focus, I just lift my thumb from the back button). Works tremendously well.<<<

R2,

The problem is if one becomes accustomed to servo tracking while holding the bb down continuously, it is too easy to do so when not wanting to track if in servo.  Thus I keep servo off on the other bb so I can hold the button down continuously and the focus point stays fixed at initial distance even when recomposing. So I am always holding either bb focus button down continuously.

Hope that description makes sense .

But, whatever works.
