I haven't shot a roll through it yet, but the meter strings test also came out 
fine on mine. I have been asked to shoot some more cover shots at work, so 
I will run a roll of slide film through, bracket heavily, and take notes. My 
only 
fear is that I may not be able to assess which slides show proper exposure. 
The last cover shot done on my 4-T which I thought looked good, lost a lot of 
detail when drum scanned and printed, even though it was there in the slide.
This time the subjects are artists drawings, so I will use a grey card and 
bracket from there.

Thanks for the info.
