Philippe,
In all honesty, I forgot to change the ISO from the settings I used on a
previous cloudy day. I caught it later.
The old Takumars still do pretty well. I did learn one thing, though.
Shortly after I took that shot, the shutter would not fire. I changed to a
Leica lens, using a different, unchipped adapter, and it worked. I later
removed the chip from the M42 adapter and all is well. No more chips for
me!
