I've no interest in AF. Couldn't care less if Leica brought out an AF R9 or not. I need predictive autofocus about as much as I need horoscopes. When I reach the "excess income" bracket (which I am definately NOT in at the moment ;), I'll be looking forward to getting some serious ASPH stuff and maybe an R6.2 with a macro lens or two. Or perhaps you were talking about the Nintendo-generation... ;) M. - -- Martin Howard, Grad.
