Re: [Leica] it DOESN'T work well for leica!

No...not really a screw up....not all of the pics were blurry, just the
ones that my friend picked out for me to print for her  :-(.  

Part of the blame goes to my getting used to using my AF SLR;  I haven't
used my Leica for awhile. That and I was breaking in a new hand grip on the
M6 that I wasn't quite yet comfortable with.  And a lifelong reluctance to
using lenses wide open even though I know that the 90 AA is fine at f2.  So
I ended up shooting the 90 at f2.8-f4 at 1/60, which is just too slow for
me.  

Excuses, excuses...
