If this ____________ jammed what would happen? Wedding shooting is not for the meek or timid. Or unprepared. Frankly it's getting to rich for my blood. Mark Rabiner ........................................................ I only do wedding as a gift to personal friends. I tell them to get a pro or somebody else to do the mexican execution group shots of the families. I'm free to prowl ther church and reception and shoot at will. December 30th I did a friend's wedding at night which mandated a flash on the M3. The Vivitar 285 and M3 functioned flawlessly. I did manage a few available light shots in the church which was still decorated for Christmas. Supra 400 works for me. As a back-up I use a GR1. I send the film to a good lab that prints bordered matt 4X6. I make a dozen digital 8X10s of selected shots and burn those files to a CD for the couple. They always appreciate the gift and say it is much better than a toaster. If I blow it, I'll get a toaster. Bill Lawlor - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
