steven n fettig's Jitterin' Thoughts

Just an odd comment/question that (perhaps) someone can answer some day: why would you try to photograph a football game with a Leica M8 and what looked like a 50mm and 135mm lens? I have yet to use one personally, but in research when I was considering buying one, I was under the impression (I stress impression) that they weren't the best for action shooting (mainly because of how focusing works). I don't feel comfortable asking this in a forum somewhere, but if you happen to have an idea of why someone would do this, drop me an email (address to upper right on page). I wish I had taken a picture of the chap. He was an older gentleman and I couldn't really tell whether he was even there to photograph the action or close-ups of the players or random people on the sideline. Perhaps the question is less relevant, considering I don't know what the guy was using it for. Coulda', shoulda' asked...
