I think the battery was low and the AF was not working right first time. Anyway I'd not hold AF against it it works real well focusing on the groundglass which is certainly a groundglass made for that. I can see using the system tomorrow and focusing files that size by hand. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Lottermoser George <imagist3 at mac.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2010 11:02:20 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] What are the rumours around Leica and Photokina?
