When you are moving fast, using two different cameras (color & b&w) there are times when you do not have the luxury of completely evaluating the scene and / or checking the clipping indicators of the MM. By setting the exposure comp to -2/3 (or -1/3), you gain some measure of assurance that you will not blow the highlights. However, as I have discussed with Tina, getting a good exposure in all cases will make the MM even better & easier to post process, regardless of any exposure comp used. I have found that operating the camera that way has saved my bacon many times when shooting street scenes & interiors with large windows (churches etc.) on bright sunny days, especially when you are chasing moving subjects.
