XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Yes, and it should be ;-) One of the joys of RF photography with the leica is that little tab on the lens barrel. If you practice hard enough, you can estimate distance, and set it without raising the camera. If you now use an external finder to frame the image, you will have the fastest shutter response in the world. I've used this now on several "field" trips, and it does work. The beauty is that you can be adjusting the focus while watching the action, whereas pre-focusing without the tab requires you to look down all the time. Its not going to work with telephotos needed at the 'limpics however, but its good in the crowd. Cheers Alastair
