Excuse me, but where are number 5 and 6 of this article?..

You would made it great by adding the page numbers in the names of the pictures. Or just putting them in order...

 

[richardl]

They are in order and complete, just put your cursor over the thumbnail and the page number becomes visible...

Thanks Again Richard,
I printed the whole article, it's a great review of M5.

Thank you for finding and posting this.

I do have a question about the text, though. Throughout the document, when talking about shutter speeds, there is the text "Vi". See for example page 4, center column, fourth line up from the bottom. I don't understand what "Vi" means. It appears that the "V" means "one over (1 /)" but I cannot tell what the "i" means.

Thanks for any help on this.

I will look that up when I am back in the same city with the documentation, will be a few weeks however.

The missing info on page 4 is + or - 1/2 stop; Page 2 "speeds available are 1/2"; if anyone can spot other missing info; I will post it.
