M7 at low shutter speed

[hlockwood]

I was at the Museum of Fine Arts here in Boston last week and took this shot. Problem was that, for some reason, the overhead lights were off, and the only illumination was partially blocked sunlight from far above. At f/2.8, the M7 shutter speed was 1/12 sec. I held my breath, literally and figuratively. But not bad for hand held. I could never have done this with my Nikon SLR. 🙂

M7 loaded with XP2 rated at 320.
Hexanon 50mm f/2 at f/2.8

Amazing how much slower one can shoot with an M. I was 1/30 with a Nikon SLR, this one was shot (also at the MFA coincidentally) at 1/8.
