When it did , most poeple concentrated on the fact that it was off adjustment for Leica lenses ; now that we have The solution , why try to find another problem ? To me , the M7 is just what I was waiting for , and I'm sure I will improve my action pictures , such as poeple , or , my favorite , street shooting .
