Seriously, try a Leica APO lens with a killer viewfinder like the R8 or SL
has.  A half-second??  I don't have the patience for that.  Warblers jinking
around in bushes, head-and-shoulders portraits of horses at full gallop,
birds in flight... not a problem.  Try it.

Doug,

I did with a R8 just a weekend and went back to my EOS. I'm not kidding at
all and *some* of us, even owning  a Leica, do prefer to have such  devices
as AF, spot metering and autobracketing in a SLR and I hope we deserve
respect.

Kind regards

Félix
