A subject near and dear to my heart as I always worry about this. This thread actually began in the Why Pentax thread, but let's give it an honest name. My tendency with the MZ-S is to use the spot meter most of the time, point the circle at whatever I think should be closest to 18% gray in the final result, lock that exposure, recompose and shoot. I do this all the time, and any comments by the more knowledgeable would be appreciated. Please remember that I shoot color print and that my only direct control (w/o scanning) is at the negative stage.
