Hi Scott The needle in the Spotmatic finder is quite a good way to regulate and quicker than dialing an exposure compensation ring or via an lcd menu on my later SFXn for me. This shot was overexposed quite a bit to compensate for the snow. Thanks for looking and after all theses nice comments I will have to print that photo large ;-)
