[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have an M4-P, which has the same little plastic film reminder. I just cut a little strip off of the sticky part of a post-it note, and mark it with a black or red arrow (red=color, black=B&W). I also fold over one corner of the strip to facilitate removal. Then I just stick it on, pointing the arrow to the appropriate film speed. Recently I started cutting a small square off the post-it note, writing the film type on it and sticking it on. Note that pencil may be better than pen in areas of high precipitiation--it doesn't run or bleed. I suspect that the film reminder was meant to be marked with grease pencil, but I'm just guessing. Whatever works. The plastic can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Just stay away from "permanent" markers that require nasty solvents to remove. - --Peter Klein Seattle, WA At 06:13 PM 11/04/2001 -0800, Bob Walkden <bob@web-options.com> asked: >Hi, > >I recently bought a pretty M4-2 which I'm very pleased with it.
