Subject: [Leica] SEC: UNCLASSIFIED R8 motor question.

Us Aussies received our Leica Photographie magazines last week. I've read
the R8 motor drive article and the Le Mans article that tested the motor. Am
now wondering how frame advance works with bracketing.  That is, with
shutter pressed does the motor deactivate after the three exposures are
made? Or does it keep on taking shots and if so, at what exposure rating?
It may be that the LUG doesn't have experience with this accessory yet. Just
curious, that's all.  Perhaps earlier R motors provide a clue? With the R8
to date, I've used the little EV lever on the back.  With the M6, the ring
that makes the lens wink does the job. I haven't used bracketing on my F5.

Apologies if this was covered a few weeks ago by Luggers 'up over'.  If so,
I missed it (amongst the noise and rough and tumble!).

Regards

Rick.
