Mike, et al., While I am reading the mail on my PC my Ibook is scanning sime plus-X negs I made in Italy in 1992. They were shot with a Spotmatic, SMC 28/3.5, and a CZ Jena Flektagon 25/4 M42 I found in the Rome flea market. I still have the Flektagon and use it with M42 adapters on K mount and FD bodies. I wish I still had the 28/3.5 but I foolishly sold it together with a complete SPF kit with all the F lenses. I guess my vote is for metal, currently ME Super.
However, I have a question for you who have ventured into the waters of hi-tech plastic. I usually shoot Velvia and scan on a Nikon 4000. I have some exposure problems with the simple AE on the ME-Super. Velvia is not very forgiving. What is this "evaluative metering" I read about. Is it worth getting a modern camera body for simpler and more accurate metering with slide film? Thanks, Bill Lawlor
