Tip: if your aperture discs aren't marked with aperture numbers use a yellow permanent marker to do so. Makes shooting easier.

Thanks for the tip on the discs. Have you tried the aluminum foil trick to get more accurate metering. Works well for M42 lenses and works the same with the Lensbabys. Just short out the contacts and you have real Av shooting without having to dial in the +EV.
