Subject: [Leica] M6 loading contest, Proposed Rules For
From: Adam Bridge <abridge@mac.com>

The environment for the contest shall included but not be limited to:

A 5% grade
Cinder footing (mud acceptable alternative)
Ambient temperature 12 C
Wind across the contest field of approximately 25 kph gusty if possible

Each contestant will bring their own M6 with lens and loaded with a fully
exposed roll of film (36 exposures.)

Each contestant will be issued a cassette of 36 exposure film in its
canister.

At the GO command contestants must rewind the exposed film, remove and save
the cassette, and then load their camera and take a properly exposed and
focused photo of a transient subject to be provided by the contest staff.

At the command "GO" a mister will spray into the stream of wind machine to
simulate a very light mist.

This is to simulate a shot you absolutely HAVE to get.

First person to shoot a technically good photography wins.

Everyone repairs to the local pub while the film is processed.

Winner doesn't pay for his drinks.
