I looked that name up and found there is a wide range of product.

I wonder which unit you used?

I'm thinking that for my purposes, I need a fairly wide field of view 
and am also concerned about depth of field.  I see some units have 
auto-focus and some are software driven.

Can you, or others, comment on these aspects of use and whether 
these aspects have presented problems?

It seems to me that if depth of field is good, that focus would be something 
to do once and forget.
