If they make the M AF, the whole point of it being a rangefinder would go out the window. Redesign the RF so the framelines compensate for focal length shift? Upgrade the metering system? I don't know, what's in there works pretty darn well. The AE in the M7 is pretty bulletproof. A lot of people complain that the camera has only evolved minimally sicne the M3, but what would they change or add? Personally I would like to see a digital M, and a more elegant exposure compensation dial on the M7 and a return of the old size 50mm framelines. But that's about it. Other than that I think the camera is pretty much perfect. feli ________________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com no archive
