Are you still shooting with your M3? Nobody ever needed a meter in a M until the M5 came out. Nobody ever needed AE on a M until the M7 came out. Remember? I shot a few months with a Konica hexar rf. Although it wasn't as nice as an M7 I really liked the 1/4000th high shutter speed. Shooting tri-x with wider aperture all through the day. The M7/M6 are great camera's but the slow 1/1000th and slow flash sync are a draw back. Best regards, Michiel Fokkema bd@bdcolenphoto.com wrote: > Ohdeargod.
