We have a Clint Eastwood Look a Like for a judge here in town, who hates photograhers. He once counted how many frames one the shooters at my paper made and said, "Let the record show that 30 frames were cranked out by the Press Photographer. I usually go into court with My M4-2 and my summicron trio and the Canon A2E with the 70-200 L lens. The A2E is very quiet. The quietest SLR available to me. It is hard to shoot under courtroom conditions because the Art Deco masterpiece of a courthouse here has poor lighting. ISO 1600 yields 1/250 f2.8 exposures. And the light has a heavy yellow bias that takes tweaking in photoshop to correct. gck - ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01BE5848.FF9E3300 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.2106.6"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><SPAN class=3D410483200-15021999><FONT color=3D#000000 face=3DArial = size=3D2>The=20 courtroom that is why Leica is still relevant.
