Hi Richard, what I meant was simply that by the way my brains work I may be of a somewhat different opinioin, sometimes aka YMMV :-) As to the gear, I infrequently use a camera out of the A mode with/ without compensation. Learned when I had this so convenient Contax and its wonderful conceived man/machine interface. But when I do I still love a real shutter dial and aperture ring; neither to be found on most current offerings :-( Bien cordialement Philippe Le 9 sept. 10 à 04:29, Richard Ward a écrit : > > Ah...
