Re: [Leica] Was intermediate shutter speeds-Now, Older cameras are better

[Jim Brick <jim@brick.org>]

My R4sP's had 1/3 stop semi-auto bracketing. I got used to it. My R7's have
1/2 stop semi-auto bracketing and 1/2 shutter speeds. I have to say that I
like the 1/2 stop system better. 1/3 was not enough and 2/3 quite often too
much. 1/2 seems to be a happy medium that works, at least for me.
