In fact, after a year's shooting with M6 and M3 I no longer trust autofocus. I have the top-of-the-line Pentax AF SLR but it sees very little use these days. I am considering buying into the Leica SLRs, but the models I am considering are the R6 or 6.2 or even one of the Leicaflexes. But these are MY tastes; they reflect the fact that my SLR shooting is usually with extreme wide angles or macro, none of which really benefits from AF. If I were shooting white-water rafting I would probably have a different view.
