It comes on right away, no 2 second wait, and it seems to be dead on accurate. Adrian: what attachment do you use for taking reflected readings? I've been using the one designed to cover the 50mm feild of view but have been wondering if i should use something a little more narrow. I primary use a 50mm summicron but also have a 90 collaps elmar (I use the incident dome with the 90) - -- Michael Garmisa <elmar@webreach.com>
