I = can=B9t describe my joy and I am still not completely aware of what = I=B9ve done! In the evening, my wife and I had reservations at the = Buenos Aires =B3Colon theater=B2 (one of the world=B9s finest), to = see Wagner=B9s=B3Sifrido=B2(Sigfrid). Great opera, but five hours = long though. Of course I took my new M6 with fujichrome 1600 and = exposed as such. Can=B9t wait to see the results! We were fairly close but nothing great for the 50. I guess now I = need the 90 or 75... not likely to happen in the very near future, it = was tough enough convincing my lady for the M6. During the intervals = I shot the orchestra tuning there instruments and the inside of the = theater. Coming from an F4, I can=B9t believe how small this camera is and = how easy it is to conceal. We met some people we new and although I = had it in my hand against my dark suit, nobody seemed to notice it = at all. I am fumbling a little when taking pictures since everything = turns in the opposite direction then the Nikon but other than that, = no trouble at all getting used to it. I did notice however that the = f/stop ring doesn=B9t quite turn as smoothly between f/11 and f/16. = I wonder if it=B9s normal or, if anybody has experienced anything = similar? Federico, Argentina
