RE: [Leica] PMA Show and LHSA's Black paint M6TTL

["Shih, Chiente" <chiente.shih@unisys.com>]

I can't help but read the reply to Peter even though I did the filter to get
rid of some nonsense posts by Peter. I am satisfied with my M6 Sync flash
speed. However I keep asking myself, why would someone spend lots of time to
post the anti-Leica messages in LUG ? Is it for fun ? or just the guy
doesn't know what to do in the mean time. Go out shooting and get a life !
Don't troll!

Peter,

Like I read in a recent magazine review about the Leica M6 TTL, "Flash? That
why they have Nikons (and in your case Peter, Canons)"

You're pretty obviously a Canon enthusiast from your previous messages. Why
don't you stay in a mailing lists that talks about a system you can say
something positive about??

Then why are you satisfied with the 1/50 seconds on the M6?  Personally I
would welcome the improvement, but unlike many I use flash.

Yes.  I will now get down on my knees and bow east to the great Leica
camera...barf!
