Many meters display additional precision in tenths of a stop. So F:8.0 + 3/10 stop is about F:9. It would be great if they'd display in thirds of a stop instead, or just skip that nonsense and display in more accurate f-stops, but this appears to be the tradition and is what it is, as they say. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
