It is funny that you should mention that, because I remember a few months ago, someone on the LUG mentioned that it would be great to have a focus assist light without having to forgo the simplicity of their conventional manual focus R lenses. This sounds like a good idea to me as well. As an M user who has become enamored with the benefits of manual focus, I would certainly see this as a beneficial feature if I ever decided to go for an SLR. Sure, you can get the same thing in a Canon EOS on manual focus mode, but you haven't previously had this option with Leica glass before... _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
