Hello Don ,
It's really surprising that you didn't express the same feeling when the
Hexar RF
made it's entry .
When it did , most poeple concentrated on the fact that it was off adjustment
for
Leica lenses ; now that we have The solution , why try to find another
problem ?
To me , the M7 is just what I was waiting for , and I'm sure I will improve
my
action pictures , such as poeple , or , my favorite , street shooting .
Regards
