Subject: [Leica] Meter flare

John-
    I see your point - but I just got the new Jim Zucherman (sp?) book on
Obtaining the Perfect Exposure - and that's all he uses , mostly as a spot
meter - under all different (bright with contrast to cloudy and dull) and
seems to get GREAT results. Oh -- BTW -- the meters at Newtonville are
Overstock, and Mike Bard needs to move them to get the newer model in - so
they are new. If he gives me a good price, I'll pick one up today and test
it out! It feels better built than the Minolta (and does more) .. we'll see!
Also the Zucherman (I know - I should look it up!) book is fantastic, esp.
for nature oriented folks.
