Film question here.When shooting film, how do different bodies effect the image shot? Obviously the lens is the key factor, but say I ran a roll of film through a f1 and then did the exact same with an f6 with the same lens. Shouldn't the results be exactly the same? Im just trying to figure out if theres a big difference between a low end manual slr and a high end slr besides ease of use and other features that dont effect the image.Picture unrealted, random from my export folder.In before leica magicEXIF data available.

Barring weird issues with shutters (ie problems), given the same glass, film, exposure, etc the imges should be the same. The body is, essentially, a light-tight box and that is all.
Leica magic bullshit stuff refers to lenses. Even the craziest Leica fanatic will admit that the body doesn't affect the image - though they'll argue that the body influences shooting technique, which changes the result.
