Ted & Joe, Both of these suggestions make sense to me, and I'll get back to you when I've tested another roll or two of film. I'll keep a log of the exposures. Unfortunately, I've had trouble with this camera a number of times before. The last time was two Summers ago while on vacation in Italy. Film-advance jammed on the first day and I was stuck without a backup. Man, I was angry! In a month, I'm on my way to the Caribbean. No time for a shipment back to Leica USA. Think I'll take my Nikon SP and a lightmeter, or maybe the Elph...:( Thanks for the imput, Rich
