<新的班房>”New Classroom”
Bobby 與筆者暢談了一個下午。
Bobby talked to our reporter for the whole afternoon.
後記：
正如Bobby 自己所說，拿著相片說故事，才會動聽的。筆者聽他說了一個下午，一幀相片裡果然是充滿 故事，從構圖到按下快門的一刻，看似充滿計算，卻又似乎順手拈來，或許這就是功力的所在吧。既 然如此精彩，當然要與興華拓展會員分享。
After word:
Just as Bobby says, the story is more powerful when you have the photograph in your hands. After spending an afternoon listening to Bobby, I am more aware that a photograph is filled with stories; from composition to the moment the shutter button is depressed, each photo seems to be meticulously calculated, and yet he makes it seem as easy as falling of a log. Perhaps this is where the real skill lies. If you have something this amazing, then you simply must share it with other Schmidt members!
Bobby Lee Exhibition 
由即日起至2009年6月30日，興華相展廊將展出Bobby Lee這次在中國西北山區的作品。 每張相片付 有Bobby 構圖解說，且看他如何透過圖片說故事。
The Schmidt Marketing Gallery will be exhibiting Bobby Lee’s work from his recent trip to the mountains of northwest China from today until 30 June 2009. Each image will be accompanied by Bobby’s composi- tional explanation, so you can see how he tells stories through his photographs.

Leica M8 & M8.2
Firmware2.004 提升
最新M8 & M8.2 韌體Firmware 2.004現可在Leica 方網站“Updates”內下載。 在更新韌體 前，請仔細閱讀網上的操作說明。
Firmware 2.004將為您的M8/M8.2作出下列改善：

新增快門上絃的寧靜設定：延遲快門上弦的時間點
為了回應各Leica M8 用家的要求，把只在M8.2的寧靜快門上絃功能，通過Firmware 2.004加入到Leica M8，使所有M8用家也享受到這個功能帶來的好處。
這個功能的特點是，將快門上絃的時間延遲；即是快門上絃的動作將不會在快門關掉 時立即進行，而是當拍攝者在放開快門鈕的一刻，快門上絃的動作才進行。這有利於 攝影師在寂靜的環境下進行拍攝，然後轉移至合適的環境才作快門上絃。這個功能可 在菜單內的最後選項中，在“高級”一項中找到。
注意：
1.當完成更新韌體2.004後，將不可回復較前的韌體版本。 2.“用戶個人設定”內資料將被清除，用戶需再次設定。
3.當使用Leica M21mm f/1.4, M24mm f/1.4及M50mm f/0.95時，最大光圈值將不能正確顯 示 EXIF 檔內。
