The Contax G lenses seem excellent. I didn't like the either the autofocus or manual (also electronic) focus on the G1. Talk about time lag - it parks in the infinity position and moves from there when shooting. > Agreed! I looked at the G1 when it first came out and also found the focus lag waaaay too long. The G2 is much, much faster - I believe Contax claims 3 times faster response. I found its speed to be in the EOS/Nikon F5 range, ie very impressive for autofocus. <I also find it easy to focus close with the M6 - just rock forward until the lines merge and shoot.> I also like the greater - or easier - control the M6 gives one when choosing a plane of focus. Fun. Will von Dauster
