:^) just another example of over automation and too much
technical brouhaha. I can load my Spotmatics in a dark room
and start shooting as soon as the tongue of the film is once
around the take-up spool! Even back in the days of the Super
Program, dark forces were at work laying the foundations for
this dilemma currently under discussion by deactivating the
meter until a certain excess ammount of film had been wound on.
disclaimer: due to another over mechanization, this doesn't
work well if color film is processed in a color printing machine.
Best to use Plus-X, Tri-X or Verichrome Pan and soup it yerself
in a small daylight tank.
