Thanks for the heads up, on both counts, Doug. Recently I had a seller on eBay offer to take back an item that disappointed me where the reason for the disappointment was my ignorance about the product. I appreciated his offer but took responsibility for my oversight. Besides, I love holding the item in my hand even though it doesn't work. The item was a Weston Master II light meter. I've decided to put down the bucks for an up-to-date Sekonic L398A. Not as beautiful as the Weston but it's still being manufactured. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
