[Leica] Re: re-How do you change shutter speed on an O series?

Tom,

I think your imagination is running wild here. What you were looking at 
were scanned photos, Photoslopped er Photoshopped, and displayed on a 
computer screen of dubious resolution and dynamic range. The screen image 
probably didn't represent the real photograph. And if it was 
Photoslopped... well... who knows anything.
