However, it takes a while in the sun for this to happen, so if you are shooting photos, you would need to take a long while framing the picture to get this to occur. Luckily, this is not a problem that we experience in the UK, we have very 'Leica cloth shutter friendly' weather!

Specifically, it read that you should use a SLR for this type photo and not a rangefinder with a cloth shutter because the sunlight may burn a hole in the cloth shutter. Is this possible? How likely is it that a M6ttl's shutter is going to be burned by the sun? > > As always, thanks in advance for any responses. > > Frank - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
