My experience with all 21mm lenses is that you just set them and forget them pretty much. I mainly use my SA 21 on a MDa which has no meter, and uses an auxiliary viewfinder, so most everything is set using the old Cassidy/Carter free lightmeter. It works well enough on the M8 of course, being a rather incredible timeless adaptation of an Eastman Kodak invention http://www.sonc.com/lightmeter.htm -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com http://sonc.stumbleupon.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana (+31.754164,-093.099080) USA
