Eric,

Be careful. There's only one in-between step at 1/50 (flash sync 
speed). If you read the instructions delivered with the M6, there's 
the warning _not_ to use in-between settings (as this will end up in 
incorrect shutter times).

Just for info ... (There _is_ a Leica with 1/2 shutter speed steps, 
it's called the R7, and I believe it's the only model which is able 
to do this job). 

Eager to learn more
Greetings
Hubert
