That's what I did, too (except for the fact I had a PZ-1p, not an MZ-3). The only time I've use centre-weighted metering in the past decade or more is when I've been using the MX. But spot-weighted metering is not something I'd gladly forgo; it's good enough that I've never bothered to have my ancient Weston Master V recalibrated/repaired. As a matter of interest, does anyone know how the spot metering area of the digital bodies compares to that of the PZ-1p? I believe that was 2.5% of the area (of a 24x36 frame), so I'd expect the digitals would be 5% if they were using the same sensor. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
