A Leica R camera is perfectly adapted to photograph cromlechs, not soccer players. This afternoon, I've tried to photograph, for the first time in my life, a soccer match with my R4s2 without motor. A disaster. Moreover without autofocus, I was unable to shoot at the right moment. I think I'm going to return to the cromlech... Dominique Pellissier
