[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]In five years of M shooting I'm not clear on this: I'm hyperaware of the sun shining into the lens because I'm not crazy about the idea of burning a hole in my shutter curtain. (There are no ants in there to kill anyway) In my previous Nikonic Pentaprism Purgatory I was solar carefree with the big bright one a major player in plenty of my shots, now I cower in the shadows afraid to point my rangefinder anywhere in its general direction. How paranoid am I being? If you got the sun in a shot would you burn out your meter and or shutter curtain in the process? This inquiring mind wants to know. Mark Rabiner
