Mi'y'a :)
(but why you didn't try it on your SM Leica? Do you really are
as lazy that you expect I will check it out for you? :)
Simple: to engage slow speeds you HAVE to set fast speed wheel
on 1/20 (or 1/30, depends on model). For other settings slow
speed mechanism is not engaged at all and may be set to whatever
you think* will impress** the chicks*** :-)
*) 1/2 sec. Works. :)
**) "Geez! What a old camera! How old it is? OLDER THAN YOU???? :)"
***) Big EOS with 2.8/300 is better. Especially if you have problems
with self-acceptation :)
SM Leicas are indestructible!
Best :)
