What would be nice is a focus button, or half press of the shutter button, to lock the focus on the object in the center of the viewfinder. I have a Sigma DP2. It's a very nice camera, it makes very good pictures. The only problem I have with it, is focusing. Autofocus is really bad, it doesn't focus right half of the time, especially with little light, so I almost always have to use manual focus, which is very slow because it has to be done on the screen. That's why I'm thinking about selling it ... I hope Leica will do it better. -- http://n0x.org/
