It is one of the things that I really like about the *ist D, and actually I really got to use it most recently with the camera and am getting a workflow...
I rarely use the Auto setting, but I do use the select on the non-center spot, and when I have to I use the center I just spin the dial. After a couple of times I have gotten used to it already. It helped as I was taking some phtoos of some presentations at a lunch this week. I don't know how I will feel going back to the MZ-S when shooting film. All the 35mm I have shot lately is with one of my LXen.
