Hi Jan
Thanks very much for your help here. A couple more questions and notes.....

difference

I don't understand this part. Can you elaborate further?
> And since your MZ-M is a manual camera, it only affects the readout of the
meter,

aperture (f-stop) or

No, the ZX-M has full auto exposure program plus aperture and shutter
priority settings, and also motor wind and advance. Only the focusing is
manual. (Best of this type around, which is why I bought it...)
So the EV adjustment would actually do the changes when camera is set on
auto and shutter priority modes. Only when set on manual or aperture
priority would I actually have to physically change the aperture ring, I
believe.

right ?).
I'm not sure about that. Yes, the overexposure is what I want here. But with
EV + 1 set would perhaps the camera still indicate a correct exposure at
f2.8, while actually over exposing one EV to 2.0? I don't really know what
the meter does show here, but it will be easy enough for me to check it out
anyway.
Thanks again,
Skip
