Well, I never tried it, but if a half-stop really matters, I just adjust the lens aperture, so I never really thought about it. I wonder how accurate intermediate speeds are really, since the space between the speeds is so small (on my M6 classic HM anyway). - - marc DBaker9128@aol.com wrote: >It is my understanding that the Leica mechanical shutter (starting at least >with the M3) can be set to intermediate shutter speeds within most of the >range.
