Hi Skip,
Note however that in the two examples above, 2.8->2.0 is a full f-stop difference
(+1 EV) while 2.8->3.5 is only half a stop (- 1/2 EV) ...
And since your MZ-M is a manual camera, it only affects the readout of the meter,
changing the compensation-dial on a manual camera without changing aperture (f-stop) or
shutter (time) doesn't change the exposure at all ...
>From the 1st example above, it would indicate 'correct' exposure at f 2.0 while it
is really one stop overexposing at that point (which is what you want, right ?).
