It took me about a year to get completely used to a rangefinder when I first got my M3, but from then on I was so comfortable with it that SLR focusing would forever seem fussy (manual or AF). Before we were digital at the office, I used my Leicas on every suitable job because I love RF. I even used to shoot basketball with an an M3 and an M4-2+winder. I sure would like to use an M9 at work, but that won't happen with the condition of our state budget. (As with all state employees, I have to take eight furlough days without pay in each of the next two years.) The other photographer and I even have to share our one set of radio slaves and Quantum batteries. Great when there are similar overlapping assignments. But still I'm thankful to have my dream job (and my film M's).
