Hey, I am just saying my piece. I like the M but that does not mean I have to like everything put forth on the LUG. Why would someone say 1/125 is too slow when they are using 1/50 seconds? That's all I was asking. Sorry you can't keep an open mind. Let me make you feel better, Leica is good, Leica lenses are sharp, Leica is wonderful, feel better now?!

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 !

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?? - -----Original Message----- From: Kotsinadelis, Peter (Peter) [mailto:peterk@lucent.com] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2000 1:45 PM To: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Subject: RE: [Leica] PMA Show and LHSA's Black paint M6TTL Sal DiMarco,Jr. wrote: edited.... >For the first time, I had a chance to wrap my hands around a Konica >Hexar RF and the Viogtlander Bessa-R and to see the new lenses.

I do not agree with his statement. The lens mount was not smooth. >The viewfinder OK. Word on the floor is the lenses aren't great. 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. >Just remember in terms of lens quality, there is good, better and Leica.! Yes. I will now get down on my knees and bow east to the great Leica camera...barf!
