Most would describe the "mamby pamby" schtick as belonging to the
automated crowd, Danny.
I'm afraid that you're going to lose this battle in what *you* want in the
M6. At least in your lifetime. Can't you get it "right" by yourself? Most
M6 shooters do! IMHO, an M6 shooter is limited in speed and "rightness"
only by their own skill, experience and dexterity; three attributes of
the best photographers, not?
