           Thanks for the response.....This was my point Brian.... I did
meter for the highlights as always do for chrome film... what I was trying
to point out was, that the viewer shows highlights placed one stop over zone
7, appeared to be a  bit washed out...while looking at the chrome on a light
box with loupe it seems fine... once again the viewer is very
discriminating.  The lesson I learned is try to err on the side of
underexposure.... soon I will start shooting right at zone 7.
