Subject: [Leica] Breaking the rules.

A nice thing about Leicas is the ability to break the rules. Handholding
at a ridiculous 1/4 of a second is an example of this. I figure one stop
of grace is attributable to the camera being a rangefinder, and the
second is Tom's Softy.

It was just an experiment, but comments welcome anyway.

P.S. Challenge: Can anyone manage 1/2 a second with a handheld, unbraced
Leica? :-)
