[Leica] Minilux

["Steve Unsworth" <mail@steveunsworth.co.uk>]

I've just bought a Minilux (non-zoom) as a 'carry all the time' camera. It
didn't come with instructions, but I've worked most thing out. However I do
have a few questions that hopefully someone is able to answer.

Film speed - what is the range of ASA's that can be used?

Exposure override - I have to hold the button down for about 5 seconds
before the camera can cycle through the +-2 stop range. I assume this is
correct, but is this the only way to effectively alter film speed?

Finally, the 'modes' seem pretty self explanatory, but is slow + flash? Errr
a slow shutter speed with flash perhaps? If so what speed?

Thanks in advance for any answers. I recently saw some A4 wet prints made
with the Minilux and was blown away by the quality for a P&S camera.

I bought mine (Exc++ I guess) for 3600 French francs from a dealer, he gave
me a date back (which I doubt that I'll use) and the electronic cable
release (which I might). Would have preferred one in black, but you can't
have everything I suppose.
