I use flash for this kind of work, but I find TTL metering mandatory, so it won't be an option if you're using the MX. What I do is set the camera for manual exposure, choosing an aperture and shutter speed combination for the brightest the light gets (or the slowest shutter speed I can hand hold). Then the TTL flash metering fills in whatever else is necessary (if any). I've had great success with this technique: It compensates for the variations in lighting, fills in the shadows a bit and doesn't look unnatural. In other words, it doesn't look is if you've used flash most of the time :) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
