[Leica] 50 Summilux-M on Panasonic G1

[dankhong at gmail.com (Dan Khong)]

Exposure was OK but I could do with a bit more shutter speed to avoid camera
shake which is unavoidable at 1/6 sec. The dealer could not explain except
supposed that digital photography differed from film. I don't think it's
that simple an explanation.
