I don't know how you expose your film, but I always use a combination of aperture setting and shutter speed setting for this. If your camera has two aperture setting devices, I would be eager to know what you are shooting with <eg>. I do not mind an electronic brain to help me with that by providing the shutter speed automatically, which I would have set manually anyway, but this is definitely a matter of taste. It is like driving with a car with automatic transmission. Once you have learned to shift, you always know which gear you are using - no matter you put it in yourself or you left the task to the automatic gearbox. This weekend I will go to germany's most famous racing track (Nuerburgring) and shoot a truck race. I would feel very uncomfortable without some help of my camera. Therefore I choose my Minolta Maxxum/Dynax equipment for that. My Leica M is merely for my free time. Frank
