The AF has great support for IR film if you do that sort of thing -- set an opaque IR filter over the lens and tell the camera you've got IR film loaded and it'll focus correctly. They're silent and relatively quick to use, though I think (IIRC) you have to wait for the lens to focus before taking a picture with multiple frames. Manual focusing is a royal pain in the butt, but you shouldn't have to resort to that very often (there is a button you can press to get an infinity setting). It's *not* a pocketable camera though, so it wasn't as convenient as I'd hoped it would be. IMHO an M6 is probably a better all-round camera. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
