Just Because You Own One Doesn't Mean You Know How To Use One...

Okay, the beauty of the M6 is the red LED flashes if there is no light, and you can't set exposure.

So what lens was that? Looked pretty big. Not a Nocti - it had a round shade.

....Vick
 
The guy wears prety pitch black sunglasses and I think that is were the problem finds its source :bang:

Edit: wearing a cap offers a good protection but removes some pleasure LOL

The people who shot the video either missed the lens cap as well or they deliberately didn't tell the guy. But judging by the video it seems to me that they deliberately didn't tell, really mean.
 
Thank gawd that wasn't me...I don't own a dslr :D

<edit> just to remind the folk north of the border that the Cup spend a lot of time in Chicago !

The guy was videoing it for quite a while. Why didnt he go over to the guy and say your lens cap is on. I guess I would of done this cause the guys family will not get the moment back. Sure the guy was a bit dumb, but who isnt. I think a lot of people these days would rather phtograph or video peoples mishaps so they can post on flickr and utube and get famous. Help people out intead of photographing them. This was not a big deal but it could reveal a bigger problem in the digital age, "disconection" Oh well thats my rant, now off I go to work in the rain.
 
heh he's not alone, even world leaders are baffled by things more complex than a cellphone camera.

It looks like he's aware somethings wrong, probably due to the LED readout doesn't look like he's ever focused an RF before though.
 
There but for the grace of ... go I --

Like watching an impending train wreck, he almost turns the camera so he has a chance to see the cap, and repeatedly doesn't

I would not laugh at him. Today him, tomorrow me.
 
Yea, done that too. One of life's embarrassing moments when it finally dawns on you. At least it was an meterless M when I did it.

Not everyone keeps the batteries in their Leica's. I for one took the batteries out of my MP as the meter distracted me too much.
