Posting experiment: f0.95, 1/45 handheld, ISO 800. Someone gave me a tip on this and it worked - just click the small for the big.

Very successful :-)
f0.95 wow. I remember Canon made a rangefinder with a 0.95 back in the early 70's. Wasn't aware of one since. And to think my f 1.8 pentax is considered a BIG aperture in these days of f3.5 to 5.6 kit zooms. Well, to today's mass market anyway.

Just a thought... Leicas sought after often because they had much quieter shutter mecs than the competition.?
Todays 'normal' digi cameras (ie non-slr) are totally silent but manufacturers like to build in the sound effect of an old-fashioned shutter, often complete with motor wind. Odd innit?

Derek People on some of the Leica forums are using Russian-made ('Jupiter') lenses like that, containing Zeiss optics, that you can get for a few hundred dollars. A lot of those are being restored and still sold cheap, so they could be a much better investment than the Leica. Funny thing too - you might expect Leica's pricy lens to be perfect or nearly so. Oh contrare - you read the manual and it describes light fall-off and vignetting at the widest aperture. Scary stuff!

The lens has some kind of shutter blades that are very silent, and the camera by default uses the big cloth curtain that makes a nice 'clunk' when shooting. But the camera has an electronic shutter mode - don't know how it works, but it's supposed to be dead quiet. I like that old-fashioned 'clunk' myself, so I just stick with that for now. BTW, the modern cameras vary a lot in their shutter sounds, but as far as I know none of them have the good old-fashioned 'clunk' you feel as well as hear with a real camera (film camera).
