I have considered a similar outfit but a banged up user. I would use it as a pocket camera my question is how do you all meter with it, if you are carying a separate handheld meter it kinda defeats the purpose... is there an MR meter for it or are you just estimating? - - -- Michael Garmisa <elmar@webreach.com>>>> Michael, Outside, I just estimate using the "Sunny 16" rule. Indoors I use an old Weston Master V serviced recently by Quality Light Metric or a Sekonic 308B II. Regards, Jim L.
