Hi,
actually this is not what I meant. What I mean is that having an
exposure lock is incompatible with IDM, and, Paal's experience
notwithstanding, an exposure lock is essential for a camera with a
built-in spot-meter.
Now, I can't find the back-up for my claim about AEL and IDM, so I may
be talking complete balls, but there was a good reason for Pentax not
putting AEL on the LX. They didn't just forget about it.
