Too bad indeed.  If anybody knows where this description can be found, I'd
love to see it.

P.S.  In addition to my R6's, I just bought an F5 and can assure the group
that Matrix blows it all the time.  It doesn't know to underexpose a subject
in front of medium-dark foliage, or to overexpose my 18 month old son
playing in sand.  It sure gets a sunset right, though -- (whoop dee doo). 
The errors are admittedly small, but with chrome film, they're there for all
to see.
