I think everyone has to. Although, I notice that with 35mm my style has become poisoned by this technique.. Its tough to manually focus even the MX now, without the beep. Damn the 645, I'm forever spoiled on 35mm finders, I guess. > But that is about my only disappointment. I've been extremely > impressed with how accurate the light meter is.

To the point where I'm just a little surprised I was so apprehensive about it. This is a place where I really adore the -5n over the MX by far and away. I need to learn how to use the exposure comp dial to manipulate the flash output, but I've been too lazy to really care, lately. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
