One of the things I have learned to appreciate on the M7 is the possibility to use real long exposure times, (I think the maximum is 32 seconds) without a stop watch. Ok for 32 secs I can use my wrist watch, but for the 2secs to 5secs range I like the precision of the new shutter compared to the M6. BTW I just ordered a neutral gray density filter with a filter factor of 64, that is 6 f-stops and I am going to shoot some real slow shots soon. BTW if you live in SF look out for an exhibition by a young Russian guy Alexey Titarenko who inspired me to do this. He has a portfolio in the March 2003 issue of Réponses Photo Chris >Comments and suggestions are most welcome. > >Adam Bridge >-- >To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- Christer Almqvist D 20255 Hamburg and / or F 50590 Regnéville sur Mer please look at my NEW b+w pictures at: http://www.almqvist.net/chris/dozen/ old pictures still at: http://www.almqvist.net/chris/new - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
