Since he had a touch of palsy, and his hands were not too steady, I loked around at the Konica Auto-focus, one of the first AF cameras out, then. My wife inherited it after he died about ten years ago, and it always performed admirably, not just mechanically, but the Konica lenses were impressive for what was basically a P&S. From the looks, and the description, Konica seems to have pulled out all the stops. I would really like to hear from anyone who actually have used the lenses, and get their impressions. The site includes MTF figures- which to me are very much like voodoo! They look impressive, but I can't make heads nor tails out of them! (Erwin- please! do they look any good from that perspective!?). I know the Hexar is a relatively high end camera, and would love to hear any stories about fit and finish, ease of use, and stuff like 'bokeh' from anyone.... If you are afraid to let the LUG know that you are actually handling a non-Leica product, you can send me private email! Dan, Open to suggestions, Post
