focal length and zoom out to compose.

All the best!

though. Shutter speed was 1/1000 ( F8 )
on Fuji Superia 400 film. Amazing thing is
the lens has excellent contrast and saturation
even though it's not SMC. Only 5 elements
so SMC not as beneficial as it is on
1. Why digital? As I mentioned recently, I have been considering buying a
digital camera to fit in the ecological niche which once was filled by my
Minox 35mm camera (sold to fund the purchase of my first PZ-1p), then by my
dear departed Leica Z2X (doused in a stream by my wife.) The size of that
I just completed a shoot for a client that involved about 20 shots. It
all had to be transparency film, so bracketing was essential. And it
wasn't practical to shoot everything with the 6x7, since you only get 10
exposures per roll and those tough angles are even tougher. I had to

Keith,
The other reason the MG doesn't get much mention is that it is the most
stripped down M series camera that I know of. Isn't it the one with the
stoplight in the viewfinder - green is good to shoot, red is to slow, and
