Hi Steve and Ted, Yup, Absolutely. I should have qualified my statements on the type of pictures I tend to shoot. In fact, I have to admit that I am not very good at the supposedly M mode of shooting - prefocus, F8, grab and shoot. I don't think that way yet, and it's not the style I shoot currently. Most of my pictures tend to have a few moments of contemplativeness, although my wife does yell at me for thinking too long. Then again, she is the type that would ONLY be happy if you can make grainless 2x3 ft enlargement with candlelight of perfect composition, exposure etc. etc. Hard woman to please :-) // richard <http://www.imagecraft.com> <http://www.dragonsgate.net/mailman/listinfo> - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
