Street bridge here in N.Y.C. and came to a stop, due to the red light up ahead. While waiting for the light to change, It was raining by the "Buckets Full" I look to my left and there is this town house, I look up and I see this cute little boy looking out the window with his pet dog. He had the look of sadness. It was like if he was saying to himself "We cant go out and play today Snoopy". I always have my M6 at the ready when ever I'm driving alone. But this week I decided to use My NI-- F--- with a 24-120 lens. So I see this great picture of the kid on the window, I grab the N---- from the passenger seat look up in front of me and I see that traffic had started to move, I see that I only have 5 seconds to take this shot before the behind want to kill me. I Bring the camera to my eye trip the shutter button and the camera wont fire, I noticed that the camera is off, No problem, I flick it on instantly. As I press again so the camera can focus, while the lens is focusing the kid moves away from the window. ARHHHHHHHHH *$%$# auto focus piece of crap. "This is why I had left you behind for a year". I was pissed folks. Regards Felix Erazo www.thrutheviewfinder.com www.thrutheviewfinder.com/PAW.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
