  I'd forgotten this until you mentioned it.  Yes, the meter did not work 
on manual, only on automatic.  Still and all, flash metering off the film 
plane would be a nice thing to have, and you didn't get this with the CL.

  The thing I kick myself for is not picking up the 28mm Rokkor to use 
with my M4.
