Hadn't thought of (or investigated) that, but it makes sense, in that the shutter assembly is reportedly from the R8/9. Someone used the term "average" in re the meter pattern. Other than the gray segment, the shutter is black, so is the meter "averaging" the gray segment with the (non-reflecting) black ones? My hunch is that it does not. Stan Yoder Pittsburgh
