But that was because the F4 couldn't autofocus an old lady in a walker, let alone a football player actually running! (An exaggeration, no need to critique the previous sentence, even though it has a grain of truth - until the F5, Nikon's AF was way behind). I think the F5 turned the tide - way too late - and the D1 could be Nikon's resurrection if it's not too late. But Leica is for the discriminating. <gag> And yet, I have to admit, if I were to get back to a full-time shooting job, I would no doubt be using whatever the paper supplied me. They are, after all, tools. I'll do my job, but my heart (and my personal documentary work) will still be Leica.
