    Who is “Marks” and why does he make his only appearance in the final sentence?

    (David Woolf Marks? Karl Marx?)

    Was he another philosopher, a bystander, a friend of Archimedes? What was his role? What did he know, and when did he know it?

    I do, by the way, have a Revini meter. I use it on my Horseman.

    If your metering method works, then keep using it. As I said in previous posts, PMM may not be for everyone. Also, I managed to try and convey my preference without informing the world of my philosophical qualifications.
    Do you know the snapshot method (Peter Fischer-Piel)? This is really the easiest method to expose film with a zone system ...

    Ic-racer...I see that your Reveni meter features a hotshoe mount (which is what I'd want for my MF/RF's) - but the meter itself looks different than that featured in the KS promo. Is that an earlier model?

    Matt Marrash's video about the meter has a brief discussion of Nick Carver's metering method.

    Not ic-racer, but... That is Matt's first meter, whereas the current Kickstarter campaign his for his new spot meter. The little "sugar cube" meter is a reflective type meter that reads about a 30 degree angle. I use it on my MF folders and have found it to be quite accurate.

    Can you sum up his comments so we don't have to watch the whole thing?

    As far as I could discern it is an adapted zone system where you can set the contrast range of the film in the meter. So you could for example set your meter to five stops of contrast for transparency film. Then it looks like you take a reading and set a value to it. However those values are described as something like 'white with texture' or 'somewhat dark' rather than as numbered zones and you can see the descriptions in meter. So from that point of view it is more logical because you can match what you are metering to the description below it in the meter by scrolling through the options. There s no option to calculate expansion or contraction or anything like that. Looks like it would work well with colour film but it isn't exactly an earth shattering breakthrough, it's just swapping numbered zones for described zones.
