HI CREW,
Having been given 5 minutes of viewing my computer screen by the warden 
while still in a vicious state of recovery I thought I should mention 
something many of you may find quite surprising when shooting on 
"AUTOMATIC?" :-) "YES FATHER I HAVE SINNED! I SHOT ON AUTOMATIC!" ;-)

Just before Sandy Carter and I started shooting the medical book, "WOMEN IN 
MEDICINE. A CELEBRATION OF THEIR WORK."  I purchased 3 M7's because the one 
sent to me by Leica for a test was quite amazing when working on "A."  In 
any event I shot 3 rolls all on automatic. Every frame was perfect and 
printed identically regardless of Lighting conditions. I phoned and ordered 
2 more bodies.

And we were off to the races across Canada and the USA shooting in all kinds 
of hospitals and lighting conditions available light! My 3 M7's all set on 
"A,"  500 rolls and not one lost frame due to exposure. Those of you 
fortunate to have a copy of the book can see the quality roll after roll, 
excellent frames one after the other!

I looked through the viewfinder, red numbers showed up and if I were cool 
with them........ "CLICK!" Perfect frame! Not necessarily perfect photo! 
:-( It's called - editing. But exposures??????? Everyone right on the mark 
perfect! Made the printing a piece of cake later.

I suppose it's, "to each his own and circumstance!" Use what works for you 
and who cares what others may think or do! KISS!!!!!!!! :-) Gotta love that 
system! :-)

cheers,
Dr. ted
