Fully Agree, Hauke, Best-guessing exact focus is worse than guessing exposure. That' s certainly an advantage of Leica SM/M and ZI Contax cameras. One camera I would still like to try is the Robot Royal 24, which seems to have a great rangefinder, Zeiss or JSK 40mm standard lens and is very solidly built. I may receive a Retina IIIc folder with Rodenstock Heligon in a few weeks, so will try that lens and rangefinder as well.
