<p>Took my new Bessa-L and 15-mm out for the first time.<br>

Ceremony to renew marriage vows of a friend.<br>

Large chapel, neon lights.<br>

Color film, asa 400--have to use f5.6 at 1/30 and 1/15<br>

Guess distance, set infinity symbol opposite 5.6<br>

The results are poor. Not sharp.<br>

Pretty useless after scanning.<br>

I have the feeling I am doing something fundamentally wrong.<br>

I understand about DOF etc. Maybe this works only well with small apertures?<br>

Help. (and please don't laugh..)</p>

They claim a 5 minute installation and impressive savings for the Epson 2400

printer.

Can someone confirm this?

Thanks to everybody who sent the many helpful suggestions--I will try them all!! I did order a SLING which seemed a small price for the experiment--I will report back with my experience with it.

I have a Leica M3, with attached grip, which I use infrequently

because I cannot get a comfortable grip in the vertical position. I

shoot mostly portraits, so I need the vertical aspect. And I have no

problem shooting horizontally. But when I hold the camera vertically

it feels awkward, I cannot focus without obscuring the viewfinder. My

hands get shaky which interferes with sharpness. Anyway--i am sure I

am probably the only Leica user with that problem, so maybe I can get

some useful help (and no sarcasm please :-) ). Is there maybe some

auxiliary grip via the tripod screw that might help?

Thanks in advance!

I bought a black 50-mm Summicron (2439678) for my M-3 (1023xxx). The coupled focus stops working between the 36 in and 28 in markings on the lens. Is this unusual? Apparently it does not happen with the older chromium lenses. Can I get around this by measuring the distance with a tape measure and then setting the lens? But where exactly is the film plane? Not a matter of life and death, but one of these annoying little departures from perfection...

Thanks for any insight/

Some time back I bought this camera at an antique show, because of its beautiful art-deco appearance. The box identified it as a Kodak Senior Six-16, with a K.A. f 6.3 lens and a Kodex No.1 shutter. It uses 116 film. The camera is in mint condition, and has a beautiful brown enamel body with chromium decorative lines. The f stops go from f11 to f32, the speeds are T, B, 25, 50, 100.

Does anyone have any information about age of this camera and its value?

Thanks!
