I agree people don't usually know when you are shooting with an M camera, the beauty of the machine, but after you become more experinced with the R camera, you'll find you become more proficient and use it in away that "you" do not make a distinction between the images you make. >I definitely SEE differences between slides shot with tripod and MLU >and handheld slides, but I agree that handheld shots can approach >perfection with proper firing technique which I have yet to master. Well I guess with subjects being shot with slow shutter speeds requiring a tripod, MLU or not, you will see a difference between hand held and tripod. However, in general every day shooting I've never been able to see the difference one to the other M or R. >Do you who use the soft release fire with your fingertip or with the >second joint?>>>> Hell I just move my finger with no more thought than squeezing down. One thing to keep in mind and that is if you are thinking about all the things you have to do, you are not spending time shooting pictures! Just some thoughts from far off Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia between sports venues! :) ted ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
