I recently bought a Minilux and processed my first film over the weekend.
Great lens, but I have several frames where the autofocus has locked onto
something behind the subject. I must remember to use the focus lock. :-)

Hi Rei,

For me the only significance of this M7 (or whatever) is its impact on
Leica's
finances. I am perfectly happy with my two M6s and M3 and have no need for
aperture priority or a faster synch speed or motorized film advance. The
less
automation, the better. That is why I have dumped the Ricoh GR1 as my pocket
camera and gone to the all-manual Rollei 35.
