Most cameras, except for the high end, eliminate this feature as well. this "feature" has to be one of the most useless i have ever experienced on any slr camera of any make i have ever used or owned (zenit (b), pentax (k1000), olympus (om2), canon (eos1), and nikon (f3, f5)). seriously, i've never been able to actually see what's going on with the depth of field preview. perhaps that's why my brain learned to map fstops on the various lenses i've owned to depth of fields. > The M camera will always have a following for these types of photographers. there's a depth of field preview lever on my m6 ?? DAMN....i should have read the manual.... > Now, everybody do their part and go out and buy some Leica equipment! :) indeed !!! :-) mark
