You'll have to admit there are serious limitations to just setting these cameras to auto mode and letting them determine the exposures. The LX, in the situation you described, within certain parameters, is excellent. In fact, that's pretty much why I have an LX. But in a more typical situation, it's just as bad as any other cw meter.
I'd be happy to, at some time, explain in detail one of the major failings of relying on such meters for every exposure. shel Rob Studdert wrote: > On 29 Dec 2003 at 7:46, Shel Belinkoff wrote: > > > Cameras such as the MX, ME Super, LX, with center weighted metering are > > not very > > good when it comes to metering a scene when used automatically. > > To be fair the LX metering has capabilities that exceed virtually all hand held > meters in low light.
