-Agreed on the X100; I tried one (An -s)for a few weeks, but found myself constantly comparing it to a 'real' rangefinder, probably not fair to the poor little thing, which IMHO is an excellent little camera, though a bit lacking in the manual focus department.

I've found - to my surprise - that I much prefer Sony's focus peaking when it comes to digital manual focus aids. It is responsive, accurate and much less obtrusive than I initially thought it would be. Still no beating a proper rangefinder, though (IMHO).

Oh well. It is my day off, it is lovely autumn weather outside and I've got a few rolls of Tri-X and Portra to expose. (In the Texas Leica - google the Fujica G690BL for a chuckle if you're not familiar with it)

Would love a CCD insert too, btw. :)
