I almost wet my pants laughing over that one!!! I will admit to some slight salivation over the 100 Makro. Which i assuem unlike the makro on the 645 will really auto focus! And I'm not really that down on AF. It's OK i can just live without it. * "The Contax N1 introduces a Dual Focus Mechanism as an extension to our existing manual focus 35mm system. The new mechanism will enable the user to focus on the subject in a split second by switching at will between manual focus and auto focus modes. We have also taken the greatest care in designing the size and position of the controls in such a way that they can be operated immediately, without the need to take the eye away from the viewfinder."
