If Leica would only come up with a motor winder for the M camera that was as silent as the shutter, I'd have motors on them as I do with the R's. However there are advantages to being one eyed! :) What you see doesn't change when you put the image on film. In other words a photographer with two good eyes sees in 3d, whereas the one eyed shooter sees as the camera in the one plain. I've been told on more than one occaision by different people that my affliction has been an asset in how I see and shoot my pictures. Although I have on occaision wished I had perfect eyesight, my handicap is actually a blessing in disguise. :) ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
