[Leica] B&W Leica? Higher ISO

[billcpearce at cox.net (Bill Pearce)]

When I shot file, I shot almost all on a Hasselblad for at least the last 5 
years. I did have 35 slrs but how can you not use that big negative and 
Zeiss glass. I got to the point where I could shoot fairly quickly with the 
'blad, but it was always faster with the 35.

Having shot both Hasselbad and Ms for nearly 5 decades
I can't agree with this Vick.

No way does the 'blad compete with the M for "speed."
not in focusing
not in film advancing
not in shutter releasing
not in f:stop speed
and
not in steady shots at any given shutter speed : focal length ratio

though a Rolleiflex does compete well in terms of "speed"
