Thank's! Typing error, silly me... I'm of course referring to the MZ-S!!! MX-S would be interesting, though.....
And as I tried to state, I'm really going to use my MF lenses on the AF body. But if the focus confirmation works good, I might not need the AF adapter. Still, I'm interested in learning more about it, as it's difficult to find much info on the web. By the way, I just recently started my subscription to the mailing list. Last night, actually. Today I got over 120 mails. Do you by any chance have a web address to the discussion forum, as it would be easier to discuss there? I didn't find it last night. Please advise! Eller kanskje vi skal fortsette p� norsk?
