Certainly after I saw the first time and it was close to the 1/1000 in doors OR. ;-) It seems one is a tad more at living dangerously shooting with that touch of AE. ;-) My results have been so impressive I tend to be a little more imaginative in aperture selection. As I said, I went f 1.0 deliberately only because I could completely concentrate on camera handling without red arrowhead fiddling. Sorry I don't mean "fiddling" in a put down to doing the adjustments, but I set the aperture and then completely concentrated on exactly where the focus needed to be and when it was right I tripped the shutter. Not a further thought other than shoot. I suppose I could've done the same thing with the M6, however it didn't occur to me in the past in such a, what might be considered "reckless abandon" and I'd be reluctant to shoot in a similar manner because the M7 was so easy to handle. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
