Yo boyz ,

I've had my my first roll of slides burned with the thing developped today
and there also all dead on ; 
This wasn't always the case when I used the M6 .
I used the thing all in Auto mode , just to savour that new function , and 
quite often did I use the AE Lock , instead of the compensator , to expose
those slides .
How do you use it Ted , just compose and forget about exposure or do 
twist it a little ?

JO GOODTIMES
