Should I be? How serious an issue is this? Does the aperture of the lens have any effect? I don't use lens caps or filters, and I'd like to avoid the need to cup the lens with my hand while shooting. My M6 has been a blessing for my situation. I never find myself cursing the fact that I left something at home. The controls are so simple that I can concentrate on what's important: composition and exposure. I'd like to maintain this level of simplicity, but at the same time, don't want to be replacing my shutter curtain every year. Thanks in advance for your gracious wisdom. Thanks, Paul Klingaman PS. If anyone out there happens to have a 35mm summicron pre-ASPH they'd like to get rid of, I've been looking and would appreciate dealing with a LUGger. Barrel cosmetics are of no concern, but good glass is a must. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
