[LRflex] R3 meter and more

My Leicaflex has finally arrived from Vienna (where she had a CLA).
I tested the SL meter against my R3 in integral mode and my Nikon FA in
matrix mode and they all agree!

I shot two rolls of Provia 100F last sunny weekend with my R3 in itegral
mode. Every shot was perfect in terms of exposure (much easier now because I
found out that exposure lock also works in integral mode - even manuals
don`t say this, but Camera Repairs Luton does).

More great news: I received a battery adapter from the Netherlands (from
Frans de Gruijter) and it works perfectly in my Leicaflex. I warmly
recommend it!

In addition, Don Goldberg is willing to sell me a 2nd Cam as a spare part.
It is going to be instaled into my summicron R-only lens to be fully
compatible with my SL (I hope the 2nd Cam will do the trick, and the 1st Cam
is not needed?).

Now a question: I find it quite difficult to focus my Elmarit 28mm with my
SL (standard screen) Is focusing any easier with an Elmarit 35mm? Now that I
finally found one (latest) at reasonable price, I`m interested at it as my
only SL lens. Another option is a Vario-Elmarit 35-70 f3.5.

Thanks,
Miha
