Whew what a terrible waste of time. Meter reading? I just smile to myself, go take pictures while you screw around checking 42 different readings. Then zoning out each meter one unto the other. And when you ask, "OK smart ass how did you meter for that?" Now I really have a nice warm fuzzy feeling.:) "I just look through the Leica and when the two little red arrowheads light up I press the "click button!" :) That's all folks!:) :) :) Have a nice time with the rag assing nonsense about grey/gray? cards, the limits of the US Constitution, bad cops good cops, Shutterbug and what appears to be a lengthy list of the greatest time wasting topics and space I've seen in some time. Notice I didn't mention real good Leica topics once!:) When you should all: " GRAB YOUR DAMN LEICA, WHATEVER MODEL & GO TAKE PICTURES!!!!! bye, ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
