Really, Javier, just keep taking pictures...when your meter seems to be going off a bit have your shutter speeds checked and keep taking pictures. Getting consistently bad exposures at both high and low speeds? Get the meter calibrated by a good repair person and then keep taking pictures. Follow these guidelines for about fifty years at which point your children can keep taking pictures with your Ms. Buzz Hausner - -----Original Message----- From: Javier Perez [mailto:summarex@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, September 25, 2000 8:59 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Fw: Leica FS Hi I have been wondering about the longevity of metered Ms for awhile. Specifically, is there any indication that the colour of the white curtain dot won't change with age to something yellowish or off white? That would throw off the meter for sure. Javier
