Sorry, but I also occasionally do work which requires very long exposure times. Metering in such circumstances is a nearly total waste of time. Experience and bracketing are more useful. >>> Shoots at ISO's below 200. >> That's useful - wish the D did. ND filters.

Re-focus and shoot again as required. For static subjects, you can't do any better than that. High magnification finders are useless for moving subjects.
