As my understanding is, the aspherical doesn't really make any difference after you have stopped down a couple. Is that correct in your experience? <<<I am hopeful that Leica incorporates auto-focus into the R8 in the future. I don't know how they would do it without introducing another model. I traded an F5 Nikon for the R8. I miss the auto-focus feature.>>>> QUESTION? Are you saying you miss the autofocus for shooting fast moving things like sports? Or are you saying you miss autofocus for shooting peeling paint and non breathing things? Or some other slow moving subjects? Or do you just miss A/F simply because it was a kind of lazy mans way of using the camera? As many of us found and rejected when using Leica R cameras. ted
