Thanks for the reassurance. Bob. Turns out this meter is a reflective light meter, but an adapter for incident light metering was manufactured. Question will be whether I can find one. The meter seems to be in plentiful supply. Maybe the adapters will be as well. I've purchased a couple magazine-like photography guides that have been edited, and it appears largely written, by Zuckerman. I'll be on the lookout for the book. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
