You are right about the exposure compensation. I looked at the link you posted of the Japanese manual. Its what you said. If your camera has TTL metering, there is no concern; otherwise manual exposure compensation from the user is required. “Around the barrel in orange at ….. respectively.”

Very helpful write up. I look forward to using it in the Kamakura area once the weather cools a bit. On a related note, how do you like the Katz Eye in the D700? I have considered ordering one for mine, but I hear it affects the autofocus and spot metering off the center focus mark. I tend to use MF, but there are time when I need the auto focus. <span class='jfriedl'>Love the <a href='http://regex.info/blog/2009-03-08/1159' rel="nofollow">Katz Eye</a>... would never do without it.

I have mine since a few years and also had the Zeiss ZF 2/100 which I immediately sold then, although I like and have a lot of Zeiss glass, but the CV125 is so much better.

The SL II line comes in mounts for Nikon, Canon, and Pentax. I think the SL designation indicates Voigtlander’s 35mm SLR lenses. The SL II line comes in mounts for Nikon, Canon, and Pentax.

Wood + Stone 2. Old-lady bicycle 3. Narrow pathway crowded in by small dwellings 4. And the ultimate: flip-flops and white socks -> Where I live in the U.S. is known for its ex-pat Japanese population /burgeoning Korean population and the white socks/flip-flops motif is ever popular. Please tell me that those white socks have individually knit toes... that would make this photo even more consumate Japan.
