Is that the damnable, seemingly interminable, and now unconscionable time lapse between the press of the shutter button and the actual capture of the image? harummm. I am now slipping back into M mode for anything that doesn't have to be shown that day. I am hopeful that a new minilab opening near my house will be staffed by someone I can easily intimidate into not scratching my negs. I do like the issue from my Pentax *ist DS, but sometimes, it takes a look at a shot,and disagrees with me as to how it should be taken. The camera diddles and daddles, and blinks some little leds in the finder, and then, as the shot I wanted fades from everything but my memory, finally goes kerchunk. So, I am playing with my M6's again. I've bought an M5, that I am starting to adore, as it has nothing on the right side in the way of straps or lugs, and nestles right into my bigole fat hand. It is fun to go shooting with a camera that assumes that whatever I set it is what I want the shot made at. So I miss a few. At least I have the moment I sought, and I can always try to fix it . . but if I miss that moment cuz a computer is trying to second guess me, there is no way in hell i can fi what I missed.
