Shooting a lot of film doesn't make your pictures any better. I'd have to agree pretty much with Bob Walkden's comments wrt shooting with the Leica.
It took me a while to get used to the camera - I even used it for a while and became so disgusted with it that I stuck it in the cabinet for almost six months. Now, like Bob, I use it almost every day and find that for street shooting and people pictures it offers a much better view than an SLR. I do seem to have one advantage, and that's that I'm somewhat able to pre-visualize DOF, although I really don't worry or think about it too much. "Juan J. Buhler" wrote: > > On Sun, 21 Oct 2001, J.
