R. Morrison, M4-P, etc.

Hi R. Morrison,
yes, I think you are right.

I also use a CdS Leicameter on my M4. It seems working fine. I'm doing some comparisons between Leicameter and Weston Master V (recently purchased) and a Ranger n.9 (just arrived).
Weston V and Leicameter appear to be in good agreement last saturday in the Tuscany countryside and Velvia slides went out ok. Tomorrow morning I'll do the same adding Ranger 9.

Regards.

Flavio
