I don't dare go anywhere on the west coast and Vancouver Island because we live along an earthquake fault line. We are always being told the "BIG ONE" earthquake that is, will happen...... some day! And I sure as hell don't want to be caught without my camera, extra cards and fresh battery! :-) Hey my last frames could be my best frames! ;-) ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sonny Carter" <sonc.hegr at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 10:09 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] iso 100.000+?? > On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 11:48 AM, H.
