" - -------------------- End Original Message -------------------- Alex, Assuming the SL adapter does not have a null cam installed, you may have to experiment with your R3 MOT's metering response. You can use it in auto or manual mode, either spot or center-weighted meter pattern at working aperture. On my R4sP bodies I have to use 1.5 stops exposure compensation because the camera's meter cam follower has nothing to follow. Other than this the metering is straightforward. Just remember to set the exposure compensation back when you change back to a 3-cam or 3rd-cam lens. Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt
