I'd really hope the M11-V's MF experience works almost as well as a Z6iii. Focus confirmation, even face detection, is a really useful evolution of th

I have shot MF with the Nikon ZF which I believe has these same focusing aids. They work Ok. But in my experience the best manual focus through an EVF I have ever used is with a Leica SL-(2 & 3). That EVF is so clear and bright, the focus peaking and magnification are so elegantly a simply implemented, that this is the easiest, and most enjoyable MF experience I have ever used. Rarely miss a shot even wide open at F/1.0.
As much as I love my M cameras and the RF experience, I honestly think the best platform for shooting M lenses is now the SL-3 for a variety of reasons. Though I admit, it is not my favorite form factor camera. The M wins there.
