Hi Duane & other LUGers,

        Wouldn't that just bias the meter while keeping the same coverage ?  

        What is it with Leica that makes people want to paint their dots
(first the red ones, now this !)?
        While I was pondering this question, the Queen in Alice in
Wonderland popped into my mind,
        saying: "Who dare paint my roses red ?".  Then things suddenly fall
into order, at least
        the Carollian sort: Leica of course, is an anagram for Alice :-)
