Ain't that the truth! I'm old enough to remember when in-camera meters were decried as an unnecessary gimmick. No "real" photographer would use such a namby- pamby, sissy thing. Why, the idea was just plain silly. Years later the same comments were heard about autofocus. Who needs it? I can focus better/faster myself! No "real" photographer would use such a silly-ass idea. This seems to be a regular cycle with any new technology in photography. Today I still know people who think that digital is just a passing fad!
