Cute! I shoot

I've been using Leica Lenses my entire life (thanks dad), from age 12 to my now 74 year. This is exactly why most photographers do not have great kills. Call it what you will, but I just can't imagine using most modern digital cameras. Why? Zoom Lenses, you can not preform this most basic skill. 'Street Photographers'? I shoot mostly studio work, why would I need auto focus for any of my Leica lenses? I know how far the backdrop is and I know how close to the subject I am, at f8 or f11 I set the lens for the focus to make images from 5 foot to 12 foot away.

But, another point that I know about Leica, they do not make zoom lenses (they supply some for idiots made by another lens maker, and I mean IDIOTS), you can not do this focus type with zoom lenses.

The best of all is exposure. If you go out doors, and you are in control of your craft, then you know what the exposure is, if not, learn your craft and you will know what exposure is correct.
