Great fun isn't it, Ian? Getting back to making more judgements 
before tripping the shutter is a good exercise for anyone.

I got to where I felt pretty smug about making the necessary 
adjustments for the metering in the M6 and the R6.2, but am now 
having a ball with a Rollei 35 (just acquired). Its window is as 
broad as a barn door, so it only gets you into the ball park. The 
rest is up to you. 

Aside to Godfrey: You're right! This little 3.5 Tessar is a gem! What 
pleasant renditions and sharpness.

Keep your stuff coming, Ian. You're like watching a travel channel on 
the TV for many of us. (Me, at least!)
