For speeds below 1/20, the ones were the speed was selected on the slow speed dial, the main control was supposed to be set at "20". Does anyone know what would happen if the slow speed dial was set for a longer exposure than 1/20 and the main dial set for something faster than 1/20? Would one get gear salad, or would a slit narrower than the 35mm frame just pause somewhere in the frame for the length of time demanded by the slow speed dial? I've been wondering about this for years, but never remember to ask when in the company of someone who might know. Herb - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
