[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I borrowed one from leica UK a year or two back to 'test' for my little magazine. I really didn't get on with it, most disturbing was the l - o - n - g delay in the shutter 'snicking'. Then there was the long list of modes through which one had to cycle in order to gain more control (e.g. switch off the flash), I'm not sure if the meter was well calibrated as the negs were thinner than they should have been (my own b/w processing is OK with my M6 metering) and finally I was disappointed to note distortion in the corners where the blurring effect is spherical in shape and sharpness goes to pot... Other than that, it's got a red dot! Am I being too picky? or did I get a bad one? it was ex-Leica School of Leica UK! Jem
