Doug It's merely a question of habit. I can easily change my mind when changing from a autofocus Nikon F5 to a all manual Leica M6 and work on the hiperfocal basis. I can change from large format Linhof to the tiny Ricoh Gr1. Some behaviour as that the insertion point of the lens is different takes some seconds. Opposite clockwise Nikon vs Canon. I do not fear the LCD screens nor Auto everything but I can go back to everything manual inmediatly. My Volvo has automatic operating everything but my wife`s Renault is manual geared. Not a problem again. Beeing born in the first half of last century I try to keep my brain OK. Not always easy...
