Street photography decisions are made in a split second, to stand around making a composition the way you suggest means that you will seldom ever get a very good SP shot. I use meterless M2/M3s because the extra time you take metering with an M6 will usually mean losing the shot. Think for a minute; see shot, compose, focus, fiddle with meter, duh--shot disappeared around corner. sl - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
