How you got better shots with your old trusty EOS. Seems like half the people here LOVE to complain about their Leica stuff as much as use it. But the bottom line IS using it as in: "went out shooting with my M4 the weekend and darned it if the film didnt go through the camera! Forgot to watch the rewind wheel do it's thing which is OK because i had my meter set on 400 and I was shooting 100 film anyway!" and so on. mark rabiner
