Mike, Found myself using/mixing the PZ-1p with manual lenses and some autofocus at my daughter's gym meets. This week I switched back to the LX with a winder. Two advantages were apparent. 1. The shutter lag was shorter with the LX. This is not a surprise, but I'm surprised that I noticed. 2. The manual lenses snap into focus better on the LX than on the PZ-1p. This is what I was hoping for. Now I've got to check the prints.
The manual focus is still a winner. I'm not looking forward to being forced to autofocus. Regards, Bob S.
