The autofocus is great and fast, the shutter lag is there but not of five-seconds duration, and the screen is pretty good. My gripe is with the processing of the images, not with the taking of them. I do admit that my Lieca IIIc has a better RF, niftier autofocus, no appreciable shutter-lag, and a really great VF, but I can't figure out how to put that chip into the film compartment to make it go digital ...
