I just hate switching back and forth.<<<<<<< Hi Tina, When using the 15 Voigtlander I set exposure first, usually adjusting shutter speed for correct exposure while leaving the aperture at 11 or 16 to maintain maximum depth of field and just let the picture magic happen with no thought of focusing, only concentrating on the subject and keeping the camera vertical and horizontally squared away. The 15 is truly a fun lens on an M with the view finder as your guide, a wonderful fun time P&S to take pictures. At first I kept wanting to focus, but once you're over that, then it's just plain old fashion blast away time! :-) ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
