Gee george, I thought you were going to use one of Wilem's .1mm polyester 
filters taped to the front of the lens (I think there's room), back of 
the lens or between the film rails! Other than that, you can manually set 
the ASA/ISO, focus  correction and exposure bias. Nice machine, wish I 
had the 28Ti...

Cheers,

Tom
