Re: [Leica] DR a bargain??

What amazes me is what seems to me a myth about Leica M RF focusing compared
to the SLR. Please don't get me wrong because I think that my 2 M2's are
fantastic cameras and I am now using them at least 80% of the time, but,
with any of my Nikons to focus you have a fresnel screen which has your
image all fuzzy until you focus in and then for the final fine focus you
have a split screen to line up the image, so sorry, IMHO much quicker and
easier than the RF focus. As proof try focusing with a RF on something with
no straight lines, like a bush, and hope you don't go blind.
