I do not understand why there is so much gripe for DOF markings. I hardly use them on my Leica lenses except when I am doing hyperfocal settings on rare occasions. I do not miss them on my G-lenses as I do the f-stop settings instinctively and get the pictorial effect that I want. But then, I suppose not all people feel comfortable using the Contax G like I do.
