And I will probably be using those on the M240, not the SL.  I got the SL
for the auto-focus because I'm having lots of problems seeing well enough
to focus the older I get.  I'm really pleased with the auto-focus on the
24-90 and it will probably live on the camera until Leica comes out with
the 50/1.4.  I did try using a higher shutter speed and will post those as
soon as they finish downloading.

Thanks,

Tina
