On the MkII however I still use the same method (I've never actually tried sticking it on evaluative for flash work, its just become a habit now) and I have never had a problem that i couldn't explain as 'pilot error'. This is helped by the true spot metering which now enables me to pick out shadow areas and adjust to lighting conditions with flash comp.
On my next outing I'm going to stick it on eval and see what happens and will report back. Hopefully my findings will support a fic in the new camera as I have openly derided the e-ttl system since moving up from the 1N HS which was always very predictable.

I assume that you are referring to the totally useless canon ETTL flash

thinking about it, off camera, on camera a little tweak here and there ,
ambient and flash combined etc etc.
