[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've told my Leica guy that I'm having second thoughts after reading this review: http://leicarumors.com/2015/10/20/the-leica-sl-typ-601-camera-review-leica-gambles-big.aspx/ If I bought an SL and then Leica came out with an actual M with autofocus, I would be very, very upset. A new M is rumored. I'm going to Iran in April and was hoping for an autofocus camera before then. Chances are slim and none, I guess.
