Look at the shutter curtain. See the spot? That's the meter area and pattern. A simple circle.>> I'm confused. One of these is most likely right. I'm inclined to think it's Allan's because the meter reading changes when I rotate the camera but I am aware of the circle on the shutter curtain. So what's up with that? What's the purpose of the circle? Might that circle be bottom-weighted? If not, what is weighted to cause the meter change? hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllppppppppppppppppppppp pppp Lea Murphy Whiny Dog Press Telephone 816-333-9111 Telefax 816-333-9113 Home www.whinydogpress.com New www.whinydogpress.com/new.html PAW www.whinydogpress.com/paw.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
