For those with an LX3, how does the manual focus work, compared to the Hexar AF?
The HAF has kind of a 3 mode (MF) button for AF, Inf., and manual stepped focus with sep. + and - buttons of some arbitrary preset distances up to 20m which covers close ranges to infinity at virtually all apertures.
The AF (in AF mode) is supposed to have like 290 steps of focus level, but it would be impossible in MF mode to get to a hyperfocal distance quickly if it weren't the way it was, with just a handful of MF focus steps to jump to quickly and of course the 1 press to infinity/AF is very useful.
How does the LX3 handle MF focusing vs the Hexar?
