picked up on was your original choice of wording;- "compelled"
Some may not know it so it may bear repeating. Pentax and Zeiss jointly
developed multicoating. Pentax calls theirs SMC and Zeiss calls theirs T*.

You got me curious, so I went back to see my output.
Last year I shot 80 rolls of film. This seemed lower than normal to

Another thing to consider is whether or not the data imprinting could be

Hi Bill,
I think I'm following it. Since the readings vary significantly between
cover closed, cover open, and hood off, any idea how to choose or use one
over the other? Are they just to "reset the scale" in conditions of high or
low light, or do they actually measure different things depending
