RE: Ilford EM10 meter help

I haven't used this gadget for a while, but let me tell you it is a godsend
for frugal printers: make a good a print using a smaller paper size, and
when you've got all your dodge/burn times right, zero-out EM10 while you
have it placed on the border of the negative (turn the wheel until the LED
turns green).  Then, put the precious 20x24" paper on the easel, raise the
enlarger head, and adjust the aperture until the LED turn green again.
Voila!  Perfect print with the same exposure times.  Yes, you lose several f
stops, but hopefully you gave yourself some leeway.  The thing has saved me
a lot of silver!

Hello everyone,

I just picked up an used Ilford EM10 exposure meter.  The unfortunate thing
is that it doesn't have any instructions. Could any EM10 use be kind enough
to tell me how to use this meter.

Thanks.
