Markus There is actually quite a large contrast range in the image. If you are shooting jpeg dial in a lower contrast. Optionally shoot it in RAW and adjust the contrast when you convert. The *istD(s) should manage the contrast range fine if you tell it to use it's full range (set to low contrast). Or meter manually using a grey card or the zone system or whatever method you desire because the distribution of light and dark on the image could confuse the multi segment metering.
