Hi Jim,

A fine flower picture indeed. The 60 macro is a beauty and I use it along
with my 100 macro as a sort of team when we're copying prints to Scala B&W
slide film for production of my Leica Seminar presentations.

I'm curious to know how it is that good exposures have been "a real trial?"
As the R8 is one of the finest exposure metering SLR's I've ever used and
that includes Nikon, Canon and other Leica R versions.

What seems to have been your problem?
