Robert,

This is LUG haiku, which of course begs the following zen-inspired question:

If the butter-smooth, whisper-quiet mechanism of an M shutter were
activated in a forest and no person was there to be photographed, would the
absence of those acrid fumes make the espresso taste any better whilst
poodles frolicked with a camera strap as the immortal strains of Mozart's
Requiem wafted upon the applause of a hall-full of one-handed concert-goers
clapping?
