That's the only things you need for shooting these wonderfull birds pictures you get. But there are many, many others ! Besides Leica I shoot others cameras. You surely know that a quite sophisticated Nikon F5 can be used in manual focus, even with old Nikkors, in manual metering and without any electronic feature engaged. But can be used, too, as quick as any p&s camera with AF, AE and tracking focusing ability and with outstanding output. I know, with mine, how using every of his features and even I know how modify these characteristic for a determinated use. I know, it is not that easy but I love reading instruction booklets as beeng for many years a purchasing manager with economics and laws background thrown in a big group of engineers people. I thought I need just study, not to have fear and I've started to ask about any technical detail, beeing a enormeous electric motor or a lamination machine. If I couldn't understand, the guy in front of me had no idea what he was speakin about so I had to change of speaker up to the moment I understood.Finally I got the idea to take a echonomical decision. So, I prefer a complicated gear that can be used in the simpler of the ways or use his features. But I'm not a pro! Then probably my opinion would be diverse, Kind regards Felix - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
