My friend loaned me his G1 with 28, 45 and 90mm lenses. After using the camera for a few days, I was disappointed with the noisy and slow AF and also that I did not get any satisfaction from focussing since nothing snaps into focus in the viewfinder. He then introduce me to an old leica M6 which I was immediately pleased with - quiet shutter, sparkling beautiful pictures and a camera which handled well. The love affair still goes on...
