Good points about not spending a fortune, but Germans do just fine with
electronics. Leica has been messing with AF for years and years. It's just
it hasn't met their specifications -- yet. I wonder if they are waiting to
see if the Contax AX works before trying the same thing.

Just as the Japanese can make as good glass as anybody, if the Germans
wanted to match the Japanese, they could.
