You must be spoon fed everything like a little baby. If you are down near the lower limit of the meter cells and you attempt to take a meter reading with the lens stopped down at f8 or 11 for example, guess what, NO READING! Stop down metering reduces the metering range by the amount you are stopped down, plain and simple but it went right over your head as usual.
The two statements of mine below were a direct reply to the previous posters claims, if you hadn't deleted his claims you would see they refute his claims. They are not understandable unless you know the context.

I find it amusing that you make these pronouncements like as if you are some kind of latter day Moses. The big difference is you haven't talked to God, and you don't have the stone tablets to back up what you are saying. 1) the removal of the aperture simulator is a metering issue, not an aperture precision issue. 2) the pronouncment about metering being imprecise flies in the face of user experience, which shows that it is perfectly precise.
