That would be a shame because the new Zone VI meters are extremely
expensive, to me. I can't justify sinking over $600 in a meter even though
it's the most accurate, color corrected meter available. If I could send
them a V and get it modified for a reasonable price, I'd do it too.

With SLRs, how effective (accurate) split image finders are depends on the
focal length and aperture of the lens you are using. You'll find them pretty
much useless at extremes, long tele or ultra wide. That's why cameras like
the LX allow you to change focussing screens so that you can use the o
Is there a formula for calculating the maximum depth of the hood, given the
focal length of a lens in millimeters, it's maximum aperture diameter also
in millimeters, and the diameter of the hood in millimeters?
If there is, it would make it a lot easier to find the optimum hood for any

I'm sure there are wealthy people who regularly shoot pictures with all of
the commemorative edition Leicas, Rolleis, and Hasselblads they own, too.
I've seen wealthy businessmen wearing solid gold Rolex wristwatches with the
time on them twenty or more minutes wrong, too.

It could be an important cap for a diehard collector, one that must have as
close to the original cap as possible for the year of manufacture of the
lens he intends to put it on. In that case, it could be seen to be
reasonable. I know i don't need one but someone may need one.

Dan,
I'm not sure what's more difficult, reading digests or reading individual
messages. All of the messages are in the digests and you still have to look
at them to decide what you want to read. I find it much easier to read all
new messages and then only read the "Re" or "VS" messages in the t
I paid for an ebay item via Paypal on the 7th of the month. I asked him, on
the 13th, when he was going ship it and his reply was that I should have it
the beginning of this week. I'll give him until next Tuesday and, if I still
don't have it, I'm going to notify PayPal first, to see what they ca

I didn't look at the auction. I based my reply strictly on the question,
which seemed to me to only ask about the Super Program. I would not pay
more than $125 (US) for a Super Program body in mint (or near mint)
condition. Those other items were not considered.

I always carry a camera, too. I, however, have discovered that photo ops
never occur in my vicinity when I have a camera. I look at carrying a
camera as disaster prevention, as a result.

Just in case you weren't bored to death with all of the other inane
questions. I suspect the noise level wasn't high enough for him.
