No I post some of my "step back" macro shots on the FM macro forum. The name is surprise, surprise, "O.C."I do hang out at the Texas Forum some too.
BTW, If you don't need MF scanning, I have had great success scanning B&W and my Kodachrome slides with a Nikon Coolscan IV on loan from a buddy. I hear the Coolscan V is much better (and cheaper than the 5000).
And I WOULD LIKE to do a tiger shoot but get up to big D too infrequently to attend one so far.
O.C. in Victoria
that's right , wasn't this one of your shots .

Then again, even the working meters found in FED-5 (at least those which I've seen) are not too accurate, except in good light, in situations where exposure 'guesstimation' would often suffice. The loss of the meter isn't really a handicap in a FED-5.

Perhaps I have the exceptions then - both my FED 4 and 5C agree pretty much exactly with my trusted Weston Master IV. The handicap remaining from a non-working meter is that you could have had a better looking camera. IMO the only offset to the looks is the meter!
