Hi Aaron,
That Beattie screen must be impressive b'cause on my LX + SG-20 the
A*200f2.8 snaps into focus but feel that I have to hunt for focus using my 67
(last night that I own it) plus standard screen with the 105, the 45 on the 67
is just a shocker, too dim to really use effectively. BTW I more have a Texas
Leica v II and what can I say, it's really cool, the shutter exhibits less shock
than the Leica M (which is has less than the LX with the mirror up), I should
be able to get down to a 1/4 hand held with the ultra-wide (which is only f4.5
vs the P67's f4). The P67 shutter click feels quite high Richter scale in
comparison :-(
Cheers,
