Good point, Al. One of the great strengths of the Ms is the excellent 
rangefinder contrast and ease of focusing in all illumination 
conditions. A partially covered window will wreak havoc on the 
system.

That, plus, as you implied, a time for acclimating is necessary, 
especially coming from a wholly SLR environment. In a month you'll be 
handling both with great dispatch.
