You can do it yourself (when it rains outside!) by attaching a small torch to a record player, and take a picture of it at every speed. Since the speed of the record players is a given at every distance from the center, you can calculate how long the exposure really was. You being an engineer, I'm sure you'll figure out the details. Why don't you do it now! You never know...... Leica might have ripped you off. Bernard
