I did not misread your info. I just disagree that a machine that can pinpoint maximum white and black is going to give me an expressive print. Maybe that isn't the intent of most users. And I thought you said 1/10 stop increments, but if it's continuous, that's great. For getting in the ballpark, this thing probably is great for less experienced photographers/printers, but for making creative prints, it's a $1,000 contraption I don't need to add to the cost of a V35. That money will make me a lot of test prints. >My goodness! I must me dreaming. Five emails to the Lug on one day. Sorry >guys/girls, this will never happen agian.
