You're welcome, John.  As a computer hacker first, and photographer
second, I don't see why people dick around with Zn cells or adaptors
when the problem is *solved*.  Just get someone with the right skills
to make the modification and never worry again.   (That said, I'm
still using Hg cells in my OM-1).

And I can't *abide* people who say "I'm too lazy to search the
archives.  Would somebody do it for me and answer my question?".

Have I been patched?  I'm sure I said "zed".

It's even worse on some fora, (like photo.net) where several times a
day you get "I'm too lazy to do a web search or telephone a vendor, is
the Canon 5000mm/f0.3 IS nuclear-powered megalens better than the 
Zenit 7-10000/f600 preset zoom?".

p.s. You might be able to tell that I've not finished Coffee #1 yet.  I
        get nicer after a few more...
p.p.s. IRL I'm somewhat shy.  I *dread* the though of asking a question
        in a forum and getting flamed for asking an FAQ.  I just don't
        understand people who blunder in and ask stupid questions
        without even *attempting* to help themselves first.
