You know full well that disasters only happen to jerks who use digital cameras - which are totally undependable junk. People who use Leicas never have disasters befall them - they never forget to load the camera. They never have a leader fail to catch. They never have film fail to advance. They never open the camera before rewinding, thereby losing those most precious half-dozen exposures. And God knows they never forget to change the ISO on their built in meter from the 100 asa of the last roll to the 1600 they shoot next. ;-) B.

(anyone ever shot a roll on their M then realised they forgot to put the film in... or the leader didn't catch!) tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
