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.
