Re: [Leica] Leica Question re-timing

["Bryan Caldwell" <bcaldwell@softcom.net>]

Ted,

As an old street shooter, I'm always concerned with timing that catches that
decisive moment, but also that avoids the subject knowing that they're being
photographed. I want to get my shot before the subject notices me. Sort of
like the old principle of anthropology that if the subject knows they're
being studied, the anthropologist's study isn't accurate.
