One of the reasons I bought my M camera was that I discovered I was having increasing trouble focusing. Surprisingly, I was having a heck of a time with wideangles -- I know, wideangles are supposed to be easy to focus - -- There is nothing worse than a 24mm picture shot at 2.8 from about three feet away that is out of focus. I find the rangefinder really helps my deteriorating eyes. Bob (why is it so many blind people become photographers?) McEowen
