Yikes...... > Happy Snaps, > Sal DiMarco, Jr. My new thing is to shoot both Delta 400 AND Kodachrome 200 or 64. These slide shows we saw last week in Boston are just going to make things worse. This means I've got both bodies going. They don't match! One M6 is a TTL the other is not! (The new one black, the old one chrome) Often when things our moving fast I just cant' get both arrows to light up. I franticly turn the shutter speed dial fully round in the wrong direction till it hits B, off, or 1000!!!!!! By the time they both light up everyones gone home and had dinner. Not Good!! Especially for a guy like you Sal who makes a living with his M6 gear doing pressure fast moving shooting. A rarity on the LUG and LHSA. I'd say that makes you "influential."! And a number of other things! Gets their attention and naturally commands obvious respect! Don't let this go to your head Sal! mark rabiner :) It's obvious when someone has more than a clue as to what he is talking about and why. But perhaps our M bodies should match up with our R's?!
