At the other extreme, if you leave the camera without the lens cap on for an extended period of time with the lens facing the sun, then yes, you do risk damage to the shutter.

Specifically, it read that you should use a SLR for this type photo and not a rangefinder with a cloth shutter because the sunlight may burn a hole in the cloth shutter. Is this possible? How likely is it that a M6ttl's shutter is going to be burned by the sun? > > As always, thanks in advance for any responses. > > Frank > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html > > - -- Nathan Wajsman Herrliberg (ZH), Switzerland e-mail: wajsman@webshuttle.ch mobile: +41 78 732 1430 Photo-A-Week: http://www.wajsman.com/indexpaw2002.htm General photo site: http://www.wajsman.com/index.htm - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
