On the first two rolls of slides I have noticed a higher-than-normal number of frames which clearly have suffered from too slow shutter speeds. While all exposures are spot-on, in some cases I have obviously let the camera take a picture at, say 1/15 with a 50mm lens, something I would not ordinarily do (or would do only after bracing myself as much as possible). At first I thought that perhaps the rangefinder might be out of whack, but since the whole image is soft, and since other shots on the rolls (including closeups at wide apertures) are correctly focused, I have concluded that it is simply a matter of the auto mode inducing a certain kind of sloppiness. Just something to watch out for...
