Whoohooo...jhanks...one of my new years goals accomlished!!!

I'm thinking that looked a little too simple though...I'm going to have to play with it to see if it is really that simple!! CuZ I'm thinking if it were that simple, I could have understood it by reading the directions...??? more questions to follow I feeel certain!!

At first the video sounded a little like one of those infomercials that pretends to be a real show.

BTW.... I just ordered an L-358.

That's a pretty good basic. But what does the percentage mean? When you meter, it'll give you an fstop...but also a percentage in the upper right hand corner. What's that?
