Yes, that's one of the next things on my wish list. It's more convenient to have the meter separate from the body, which is (hopefully) mounted on a tripod and would have to be removed to make use of the built in spot meter. > > The EOS 1 and EOS 1n cannot use E-TTS flash metering.

And at least the 1N (don't know about the 1) has a minor design flaw IMHO, when you use manual mode with the camera tripod mounted: You can't see the over/underexposure scale in the LCD display, you have to look through the viewfinder. Can be a little cumbersome sometimes when the camera is just some inches above the ground ;-), even with an angle finder.
