I can shoot totally manual too, even without a light meter. What does that prove with regards to the subject? Nothing. I was arguing open aperture TTL metering is better than stop down TTL metering, not whether I absolutely depended on either...Its an OPTIONAL feature, an inferior OPTIONAL feature compared to the open aperture metering OPTIONAL feature.

As a professional photographer, clients paid me to make things work, not whine about how it's too hard, or too inconvenient. This is something that photographers who only go out when conditions are perfect doesn't get. I didn't get your rational until last night, when I finally figured out that if you can find one potential issue that may theoretically cause a problem at some undefined point, however minor the issue or however remote it is that this issue might actually cause some inconvenience, the equipment is deemed to be crap, and cannot be discussed with you. Rest assured, I will keep this in mind in the future. As an aside, I have earned my primary income off of one aspect of photography or another for close to 3 decades now. I have forgotten more than most people will ever know, you included. Regards William Robb
