Trying to photograph a 10 month old who can travel at high speed on his hands and knees and never stops moving for anything, indoors, unless I shoot very high speed film, the M isn't much use - it's Nikon + SB27 all the way. And I doubt a Nocti would help much in this situation (much as I'd love one), at f1 the depth of field would be far too narrow for the speed my little nipper moves around... Lets put it this way - this type of shooting is ideal country for a higher end point and shoot. Julia gets excellent results with here Olympus Stylus zoom and it's great little flash... Leica's don't work well in every situation you know (try taking a nice frame filling head shot of a 2 week old with a standard 50 or 35mm 'Cron - you can't focus close enough...) tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
