Henning,

So much for whiz bang metering systems. Suddenly the mercury vs silver 
battery issue in my SL doesn't seem quite as critical. :-)

Then again, I had just as many critical exposure issues with Nxx as with my 
M6. When thing are really critical, I use a combination of meters and go 
with experience and judgement and snip tests. After all, meters are only human!
