About 5 years ago I started using almost 100 % of the time. I believe the mirror has more movement than most people think. I have used the 100mm 2.8 since it first came out and I have never been disappointed. The meter is something else, I have owned almost all the R series and was never completely satisfied with Leica metering until I finally got an R8. I finally got to bracketing all pictures. THis may be me, so this is not set in concrete about the meter, see what others say. Enjoy the R7 and the 100mm 2.8. By the way the new 35-70mm (out about a year) is also a wonderfujl lens. It and the 70-180 F3.8 are by far the best zooms leica has brought out. Clifton
