I decided to exercise the ME Supers this week, and was thinking how nice it would be not to have to think about exposure settings. I'd just put the camera on automatic, set an aperture, and fire away.
Well, that was a fantasy! Here's the routine - camera set on auto, focus shot, note reading out of the corner of my eye, reframe for subtle compositional elements, exposure changes because the balance of light read by the meter is slightly different even though the overall light has not changed. Gotta think - which is the right exposure? What's changed in the viewfinder? Is something very bright or very dark now in the scene. What's the metering pattern for the ME S? Unacceptable ... it's more work than using a spot meter or an incident meter to read the scene and then just setting the camera and not worrying about the details of exposure. -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
