So, obtaining focus lock is tedious. 2. No DOF markings on the lens, not that it would do you any good, given 1. In my mind, these are serious problems. This limits ones control of focus.<<< Right. So what is really needed is an M camera that takes manual-focus Leica lenses, has a real mechanical rangefinder for setting focus, but has a few 1980s amenities like aperture-priority AE, AEL, and an accurate, faster shutter; and a few 1990s amenities like autoload and a quiet built-in motor winder. Not to mention a 1960s swing-open back. Wouldn't that be nice? Errrr.... <*hee hee*> - --Mike
