I certainly think it makes sense to have a histogram option when reviewing images, and I actually like the flashing overexposed/underexposed areas option that some cameras provide. But that should be POST shot, not something that interferes with the shooting process. If one is working slowing, as Adam - I believe - said he does, then one can take a shot, check the histogram, make adjustments, and reshoot - jist as one would with a polaroid back on a 2 1/4.... -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Richard Ogden Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 11:13 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] RE: Digital M Some of the unique qualities of the rangefinder-type camera relate to the direct relationship between photographer and subject, the continuity of viewing through the moment of exposure, and the miniscule time-lag between seeing the moment and capturing it - no mirrors, blind spot or shutter lag. Now we are to interpose monitors and histograms into this formula? Surely this goes against the whole philosophy of the rangefinder experience.
