Some night shots i did with a m6 were tack sharp at 1 second It takes some getting used to though and the combination of lens stabiliser and battery pack is heavy if you have to carry the lot. simon jessurun - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Grant" <tedgrant@shaw.ca> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 3:39 AM Subject: [Leica] gyro stabilizer for R8? > Hi folks, > Anyone out there used a gyro or motion stabilizer with a motor driven R8?
