(AND take spares with you. ;-)) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Ted Grant Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 12:08 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] PAW.....Fuji Superia 1600 Kenneth Frazier said and showed: Subject: [Leica] PAW.....Fuji Superia 1600 > Trying out a new film, Fuji Superia 1600, and discovered the battery in > my M6 was dead, so I guessed at exposure.

But everything to do with a battery operated camera. ;-) Whether one leaves home and hearth or not, but shoots pictures anywhere, one should always have...... You guesed it............:-) "SPARE BATTERIES!" We have double sets of batteries for al M6-7's and R8's. Quite frankly it's the first thing one buys as soon as the camera is purchased.... extra batteries!. And wonder of wonders you'd not be posting an under exposed photograph that could well have been an interesting shot of the young lad. ;-) ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
