The crank arm control of the mirror, smooth shutter release and mass of the camera make for pretty amazing slow speed results. I doubt that the later R bodies or any other SLR's can match Leicaflexes in this regard. Leicaflexes are the M2/M3's of SLR's :-) Bud Walter S Delesandri wrote: > Hi, Alexander > > [Snip] > Hand holding below 1/60 is virtually impossible with > any SLR, but many report reliable results as slow as 1/8 sec. > with an M camera and practice. > > Enjoy your "new-old" camera, > Walt
