I'm really happy about my Konica Hexar, especially the lens, who is significantly better than my 24mm Nikon, my 35mm Nikon too !! and his quiet shutter, but, I really need a manual focus camera ! I haven't hear anything about Voigtländer, how is it good ?

I tried the Hexar RF, and I prefer much more the feeling of a M6 ! Thanks for your comments, Regards, Simon Alibert
