BUT, I hosted my church's Annual Talent Show last night (I've been a stand up comic for the last 13 years- first time I got to work a "church-gig"- talk about a tough crowd!!) I am also the 'unofficial' photographer. I was using my M4-P and a Canon 7, both of course armed with Ted A "softies". Because there is very little light, and because I had no opportunity to purchase some 3200/1600/1000 speed film, I was shooting XP2 at 400 (no, I didn't even have any Tri-X) and using my two fastest lenses: a Russian Jupiter 3 (50/1.5) and a Canon 50/1.4....! SORRY, I haven't paid off the 35 Summilux yet!!!! So I didn't have it!! My exposures were around f2-1.4 @ 1/30-1/15th... I'll be VERY interested in how my "Economy Summiluxes" work out. Just wish I'd had some Delta 3200 in the bag! :( Bob Keene "The Heretic" >------------------------------ > >Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 14:17:24 -0800 >From: Ted Grant <tedgrant@islandnet.com> >Subject: Re: [Leica] Noctilux <on topic...
