B.D. I bet you like the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) controllers too, or the Atari joystick better than the current batch of anatomic controllers. Of course this will make no sense to you unless you play video games. But since you were just talking about watching movies with your son I thought I'd throw this at you ;) The M is NOT a comfortable camera to hold. My hand cramps up just thinking about it :) Although I will say that a grip helps you hold you camera one handed when NOT shooting. So maybe thatıs why B.D. Thinks it's ok, because he shoots with his camera more. Mine spends more time at waist level pointed at whatever is to the right of me....I got to work on that... - -- John Straus Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com http://SlideOne.com/EditorsRoom ========================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
