[Leica] IMGS: Burnt Mill Bar

[Frank Filippone]

Even though it is counter-intuitive, try MF the SL for a few shots... No
Laser Beam.....  less noticeability....  
You should still be able to successfully out focus the MM.

Thanks, Frank.  I was using AF with the SL.  It used the laser beam to focus
and I got some startled looks.  Because it was so dark in the bar, the beam
was very noticeable.  One guy came over to admire my camera and asked how to
pronounce Leica.
