This is much the same as what I was experiencing with the Panasonic G1, followed by the Ricoh GXR-M, and led me back to the Leicas. The tactile responsiveness of focus, aperture and shutter release, the sense that I'm the one in control. It's a joy. I still have my Olympus E-1 and my Nikon F, but I've barely made a dozen exposures with them all year. My other cameras are proving much more satisfying to use for the present.
