But sometimes the JOURNEY happens damned quickly, and if you can make the picture you want with autofocus, autoexposure, fill flash and a motor drive, that's the way to do it, because it will produce RESULTS that you can USE. If I want to enjoy the journey, I use my Leicas. When it means putting bread on the table, lots of times autofocus et al works better, and I'm better at using it because of the manual skills I've developed shooting with the rangefinders. cheers Scott Stewart
