I've still got a stash of 625 mercury batteries and use them for the SL2. But the CRIS adaptor is tempting, if there's room in the battery compartment for it -- I hear that's a problem with some SLRs. The "dumb thread" may be short lived, but of course the Leicaflexes would be diesel Benzes! As for the Ms, maybe the 911s (air cooled models) -- great performers, but not exactly cutting edge in terms of technology. Flame away!

In any case, both of my meters have been exemplary performers when shooting Kodachrome and Velvia, among other transparency films. Also, at the risk of opening up a dumb thread, my Ms have always seemed rather Porsche-like to me, while the SLs do have a Benz vibe about them... Bob Palmieri >>> ge_crocus@xxxxxxxxx 05/28/04 7:31 AM >>> Hello all, Seeing that alot of you reflex users are delighted with your SL's as I am, did any of you have your meter adjusted to accommodate for the newer S76 batteries? OR is this not necessary? I've always used a handheld meter since I bring along a M3 with my SL. PS: If they did decide to make a SL3 today, it would probably be a Hermes Limited Ed to 10 units and cost as much as a SL500 ;) Gary __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.
