RE: [Leica] MLU on OM3

["B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net>]

Dr. Black Tape Hesitates to Contradict - Especially When There Is A Good
Chance He May be Wrong...But there is a plain old mirror lockup on the
OM4..Doesn't the 3 also have it?..Not that The Doctor wouldn't trade eight
stored and averaged spot readings for MLU any day of the week, month or
year...

And then we come down to the final retort...If Eugene Richards can get by
without MLU, so can Dr. Black Tape...
