[Leica] Oly E 1 and Leica 14 - 50 zoom

[cummer at netvigator.com (Howard Cummer)]

Hi Mehrdad,
 From my day's shooting I didn't find any focusing incompatibility  
between the E 1 and the Leica zoom. I think the problem for my friend  
is that the focus point button is near where be puts his right thumb  
when holding the camera. In the heat of the moment I think he may  
shift the focus point and not noticing the shift he keeps aiming with  
the middle point while actually focusing with the right or left  
point. This tendency has caused him to think there might be a  
compatibility problem about focusing but I couldn't find it. Based on  
my day's shooting I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the lens - it  
produces first rate pictures.
Cheers
Howard (in Hong Kong)
