Hi Roy,
We're only part way through the rolls as there were about 25-30 with the R8
and longer lenses mixed through, plus another shoot interrupted editing on
the M7 material.  However, from what we've seen on a dozen rolls they're
right on the mark!

As I discovered shooting B&W the exposures roll after roll were of excellent
meter/shutter selection producing properly exposed negatives. And with the
M7 AE metering for colour we're seeing similar positive results. I expect to
complete the editing to-day or early to-morrow, but at the moment I'm very
positive feelings about the M7 AE for accuracy in selecting the right
shutter speed for good transparencies.

If my opinion changes throughout today with more editing I'll let you know.
But so far, so good.
