Hoping all LUGers can give me some suggestions. 1, Meter: I have two models in mind. Sekonic L-408 and Minolta Auto Meter IVF. 2, Flash: I'm thinking about Metz 40 Mz 2/3, In Jonathan Eastland's Leica M Compendium, he mentioned that "The M4 uses a stsndard 3mm socket connection and can be used with the Metz 40 Mz2 with standard or coiled off-camera extension lead". What does that mean? I don't think I need to worry about TTL function. Apparently, all M models except M6-TTL don't have this function. Manual operation is enough for M4, I think. I chose Metz 40 Mz2/3 because it only needs to change SCA modules to work with Leica, Nikon and Hasselblad. Another item I'm planning to buy is footswitch. That is about darkroom. I use Saunders 670 CXL enlarger and Schneider 50/2.8 and 80/4.0 lenses for B&W printing. There are three models I found from B&H catalog: Gralab, Time-O-Lite and Ilford. I don't have digital timer. Can they work with enlarger directly? Has anyone ever used Ilford EM-10 exposure monitor? Thank you all in advance. - -- Jiunn-Jye Hwang Website: http://chemwww.cwru.edu/~hwang/ Department Of Chemistry Case Western Reserve University Cleveland OH 44106
