And in most cases, one isn't shooting on a beach at noon under a cloudless sky.... All theoretical, I know...But the point is that the lower ISO and higher available shutter speeds do make shooting wide open possible... - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Slobodan Dimitrov Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 11:14 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: Re[2]: [Leica] Digital Leica?
