MetroLux (One) and MetroLux II

Well folks, we've been under cover for a bit. It is hard to have a job and run a business at the same time. There are only two of us. But, as one of us is now unemployed, there is a little more time. I've been learning about blogs a bit, so I thought I'd set up a blog for Metered Light since our website went down with all the info when the webmaster died. We should have backed him up.

Eventually we will have the instruction manuals for MetroLux One and MetroLux II here. Also answers to common questions. Then we will expand into the PocketSpot light meter information. As production comes back to life, we will get our website up, too.
