You can see what your first choice was... And then you can see when happens when you give it less and more exposure. And you will see how those other exposures; usually in half stops are viable or different options from what your first impression of what you thought the right thing to do was. And you know you'll in the end have a shot. I think even die hard black and white tri X lovers should shoot some slides every once in a while as you learn from it. You see what your glass is really doing Test lenses with it. Its nice to know that the slide you are looking at on your light table was there in your camera at the since of the crime. A total first generation deal This can be very rewarding and helpful. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: Yama Nawabi <mknawabi@gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2008 11:09:13 -0700 > To: 'Leica Users Group' <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] Another first..Slide film > > http://flickr.com/photos/helloyama/ > > shot with velvia, m6ttl, and Summicron 35 v3 > > i still need to work on metering with the m6, a lot of shots are > underexposed, so I guess I need to overexpose a half stop to a stop. > > Does anyone have any tips?
