However, with such set up I find focusing with the ground glass screen difficult - while the view is bright and clear, images do not seem to snap in and out of focus clearly, unlike with most manual focus cameras. <<<<<<<<<< Exactly what you describe drove me away from AF cameras for a couple years. But Nikon's new F100 is surprisingly better in this regard. Though I think Minolta has the best solution for their new Maxxum 9: An optional focusing screen optimized for manual focusing with fast lenses. That's something Leica could adopt for an AF R. Larry
