One of the reasons I fell in love all over again with the M4-2, which led to my buying the M9, is that I find I get better results, more consistently, with all manual controls on cameras that are designed with manual control as a priority. Using manual controls on cameras primarily designed to be used with automation invariably presents some awkwardness in use, which makes using manual control less effective and obtaining top notch results less consistent. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
