Given your location in the world inrelation to the isolation, I think I'd have a Jobo in there quick time. :) Although I have never had to use them, I understand from compatriots who do, they are quite easy to work with with a bit of experience. My gut feeling would be in your case, "i'm not going to be in this location for the rest of my life, I better not take any chances on getting rolls screwed-up, therefore I better do them my self!" And I say this due to your wonderful discriptions of where you are living and working at the moment. Imagine shooting those old temples and the colourful local folks and then loose them in a lab situation. Not to say that couldn't happen at home here in Canada, however less likely. Glad to hear you are getting on OK with the M6 and after awhile you'll absolutely trust the meter, as it hasn't ever steered me wrong in any of my shooting. Damn if I win the lottery this morning I'm on my way and we can tour the country side shooting up a storm! :) ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
