ISO 100, daylight light balance, no flash. i.e. - no decisions left for the camera AFAIKT. It still fells slower to respond than my F100 with full auto everything. And the viewfinder is not great, to be polite. Still, I use it for 80% of what I do (sumer, no pro). >> That huge DOF is very useful, but please remember that any lens can only focus on a single plane. Sharpness falls off before and after that plane. Which explains why if you want to call attention to a particular image element it's a good idea to focus on that element whatever camera you use. Somewhere down the line you may need that definitive focus plane. Just one man's opinion. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
