Scale focussing is not a great problem, even wide open, because of the huge depth of field in a small-sensor digicam. I put it to 2 meter or whatever is suitable, and then try to keep that distance.
A M2 with Summicron 35 it isn´t, but it is quite good anyhow. That "First Christmas" shot of the baby looking at candles was shot this way.
Finally, have you read about the Canon Pro 1? Here is a preview:

Look at the size comparison between it and the G5; it is really the same size with lens retracted. If I were you´I´d wait and give it a good kook...

Is anyone using this body who can speak to shutter lag issues. Is it fast or slow? I'm interested in this body because I'd like a digital point and shoot and I like the hotshoe where I can use my 420ex but don't want to get in to a mess with missing shots due to lag.
My other digital is a 10D...where shutter lag doesn't exist.
Any input is welcome. Lea
