Subject: RE: [Leica] spot AE (was M7 Metering)

Smart metering systems are great for the average shot....  Standard bathing
beauty on beach, kids in the backyard, photojournalism, etc.  It pretty much
ensures you come home with the bacon.

However there is no brain attached to the meter, so you lose the artistic
judgement factors.  For Zonies, the idea of a built in AE meter is silly.
For Mom taking pictures of her soccer kids for the family album, it is a
requirement.

Like all things, if you do not like the feature, shut it off.  On the M7 I
would not encourage removing he battery!
