Ditto that. I whined and driveled for awhile about not being able to focus
inside of whatever that number on all my M lenses is. I finally bought a LN
F3HP + the 2.8/55 from Ken Hansen in Florida (different Hansen). Who, BTW,
gets little mention, but is a standup guy. He grades his stuff well, and
offers very good service. He trades in Leica, as well as "other" brands of gear.
