Subject: [Leica] Hot M8

On my DSLR's P is normal mode and A is manual mode.
In A mode I'm controlling things. Feels real hands on.
Last night I took it off auto iso and did some tripod shots.
Set it at full M. Went with the Force. Turned off the Lasers.
It was great fun. Felt like a real photographer.
