I believe this one is named Sixtomat Digital (F) in Europe, and it is 
exactly what I did to mine....cut a square piece of #87C filter, popped it 
into the sliding rail that also holds the incident dome, and it 
now neatly reads the correct ASA values for HIE whenever I want it.

The only boring thing is that on a bright sunny day, it *always*
reads 1/60s @ f8....so I hardly use the meter anymore, while running
brackets of 1/60s @ f5.6-f11....8-))
