hmic10 Posted November 12, 2021 Share #1 Â Posted November 12, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am looking to add either the motor winder or motor drive to my R8, I read in the R8 drive manual that you could do bracketing? I assume this take 3 pics on the roll in sequence? It is not one picture correct Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpattison Posted November 12, 2021 Share #2  Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Hi, and welcome to the Forum. The R8 manual (p 59) does say that the R8 with Motor Drive (not the winder) can be set to take 3 photographs one after the other, with an exposure difference of 1/2 or 1 EV between each shot. I do not have the drive, but I suppose you set the lens to the smallest aperture, shutter speed to 1/30th (P) set the option dial to P mode, and the switch on the bottom left of the drive to plus or minus 0.5 EV or plus or minus 1 EV. More info here... http://www.leicapages.com/motordrive.html which has a link to the Drive manual, which states ... "Depending on the exposure mode selected on the camera, the exposure changes are achieved by varying the lens aperture, the shutter speed or both, so that full creative freedom is retained with this technique as well." So the shutter priority mode may vary the shutter speed rather than the aperture?  Anyone? John Edited November 12, 2021 by jpattison clarity?
