Thanks Jim. I'm curious as to how the slides will turn out. They'll be
coming back next week.

I've never had a meter give out on me like that. It started working again
once it got moved to an air-conditioned environment. I don't know if it
was the humidity or the heat. It has a thermometer built in and was
measuring 36 C (37 C is body temperature) which isn't all that high. But
the humidity was close to the saturation point. I was guzzling 1.5 liter
bottles of water without ever having to take a whizz. Had to hold the
camera away from my face when I changed film so that sweat wouldn't run
down into the body.

Learned my lesson. Suddenly I see an argument for an M6 or M7. The lack of
a meter never bothered me before in M2, 3 and 4.

Daniel
