And a separate spot meter is better than both, and an incident meter is often better than a reflective meter, and a Sony F828 is better than an F717, and Canon is better than Pentax, and who cares? If it works for you, use it. If it doesn't, either learn to make it work or stop whining and do something different. Thought I'd pop by the list again with my brand spankin' new gmail address to see what's been happening, and the only argument going on is about metering? Makes me nostalgic for the good ol' days. Whatever happened to politics, Mafud, and C/N bashing? chris
