I know of a few others out there that shoot this way or certainly heard they have used it. Goes like this. First frame, shoot metered exposure: Set winder or motor drive and then fire camera while turning aperture ring all the way open and back to smallest opening as the roll is finished. Remove film, bracketing scene is completed. Insert new roll for next situation. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ted, I think some people are getting crazy - maybe the moon. Pro : no need to meter - con : my pockets aren't deep enough to take the rolls. Bernard bernard.degaute@village.uunet.be
