Ker-plop! Ker-plop whine ker-plop whine ker-plop whine! What are you doing, I whispered (after a suitable beginning interjection) Working for the orchestra she said. Turn off the motor, I said. Now using a N***** instead of a Leica is old fashioned. She was using a 35 or 50 lens. She should have used a Leica. Quiet. Makes the shot when you push the button, and not some arbitrary period later. Don't even have to focus (distance was >100 feet) Maybe her thinking was old fashioned, and she didn't think about the best tool for the job.
