On the DL, my procedure for metering and using an "A*" lens:

- Set M mode
- Frame picture (make attempt at composition)
- Pick aperture (choose how much pudding around subject :-)
- Stop down with DOF preview and hold
- Adjust wheel to appropriate exposure (indicated by 0.0 in finder).
- (still holding DOF preview) Hit AE-L
- Relax (finally release DOF previe- start physical therapy on thumb)
- Trigger shutter (subject has left the area).

Am I missing a short cut?

TIA,

-Ryan
