The first picture I took which made me realize there was something > special about shooting digital via the LCD was this one: When I was shooting around the Museum here using their little digi Nikon, just doing record shots and stuff, using the LCD used to bug the heck out of me - I just didn't like it.

It was just a shift in attitude and perception, but after that, it became easier and much more obvious to use. tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
