Thx
I have the same issue with that camera, which my reason to stick with Leica M. I dislike to use the G1 with the 90mm Sonnar or the 45mm Planar but I can live the the 28mm Biogon, as the focus is not very demanding with that focal length. It makes the G1 to a very classy point- and shoot camera. Contax G2 has a nice "hold-focus"-button and better AF than G1, which gives a better control. But the G2 is generally much more expensive.

Very nice series Forenseil.
I agree with your reflections.
G cameras are great for street shooting as long as you look in the viewfinder. I got great street photos that way.
Some people however are uncomfortable photographing that way and prefer to use hyperfocal shooting from the hip.
In this case, a manual focus camera is better.
