The first time using the camera and I I know what you mean, I am a terrible sceptic when it comes to just about anything I consider 'hyped', but I picked up 4 rolls the other day, 3 from the F5 one from the M6 and I didn't bother looking at the M6 roll because I figured they'd be terrible as they were all shot inside (Car Museum) handheld at 1/8 to 1/30 at around f4 on 100 ProviaF. Now this was my first roll of slide film through this camera and I freaked when I saw the pics, they certainly pop - look especially '3D' imo. I don't know if it's the rangefinder shutter or the glass, probably both but I could never get shots like this handheld with any of my SLR Nikons. I now see why you all fall for these little things besides the considerable appeal of the light tight box, oh and that little red dot of course. <VBG> ;) It took me ages to just afford a body, then ages again to get the lens (35mm just pre asph) - it was worth the wait! Acquiring more glass I think will become a continual pocket lightening saga over many, many years!! Biggest problem I have is color correcting my scans to _remotely resemble the chromes.. sigh.. Where's that loupe gone?? :) Cheers, Neil - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
