Thanks for your feedback, Liz. The more I use the camera, the more I like it. It has its limitations but unless you have an unlimited budget and can afford multiple camera systems, there are always going to be compromises.

I've become very comfortable pretty quickly using manual focus. Maybe because that's how I learned photography in the first place. In any event, this means using cheaper legacy lenses is a real possibility, and not just a novelty.

Here is a shot from a 3rd grade basketball game. The shot was taken with a Konica Hexanon AR UC 80-200mm that I purchased for $60.
