To me it's the super P&S camera without fiddling. And like Tina explained regarding slight change of exposure, the quick action of point at something to meter off, slight pressure on shutter release, re-frame and shoot can be done much faster than I type these few words. Most of the time my camera is up, focused and shot made in the blink of an eye and I'm getting roll after roll of perfectly exposed frames in all kinds of lighting situations. >>> This is really exceptional......I am not convinced that I understand the > technical results, but the aesthetic results are truly terrific... a very > soft feeling of closeness of the 3....<<<< My feeling on however this M7 sets exposures is..... I don't need to know how it does it, much like I don't need to know how a computer does what it does....as long as it does it correctly. ;-) On one of my first computer lessons from number One son I kept asking, "how does it do that and I don't understand what makes it do that?" Finally he was so exasperated with me he said, "Forget asking and wondering, just use the damn thing!":-) And this is what one only needs to do with the M7.... use it and love it... even more so if you were - are an M6 shooter. :-) ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
