For many people, not just action photographers, but people with failing eyesight and other physical restraints, AF is a godsend. Someone had said that when the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems start to look like nails... well, I agree that there are many photographic problems out there, and one single solution, i.e. Leica, cannot solve them all. I can remember taking shots of the football games in highschool with an old Rollei TLR- I can appreciate the modern fast focusing cameras for their ability to be there when it happens, and I can also appreciate the leisurely pace of the old Leica LTM cameras for their qualities.... Rest assured, Peter, you aren't alone in the way you think+ACE- ( Personally- I think if Leica is smart, they'll have an R9, AND an AFR-1 +ACE-) Best of both worlds :) Dan dwpost+AEA-msn.com
