This is plain wrong. Evaluative meter is like any other meter; it tries to make everything medium toned. However, the notion that center weighed metering "solve" the problem or has a better "hit rate" is plain wrong. The fact that some people prefer center weighted metering because they know how it react to various scenes is fine. However, this has nothing to do with matrix metering failure but the photographer not having learned how matrix metering works. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
