OK, I'm officially confused.  Ted says you should have a shot of Scotch
before you use long shutter speeds, to steady the hand, so to speak.  And I
always follow Ted's advice.  But after the fourth or fifth picture, I find
myself wobbling a little backwards and forwards, and it get progressively
worse the more shots I take (thank god there are only 36 frames on a roll of
film...!)

Does that mean that you should get your 75 Summilux pictures in early in the
session and then move to short focal lengths/smaller apertures?
