One major complaint I have with the M7 Exp. Conp. is that it is so PITA to use (fiddle something on the back while your subject grows old and dies, what an antithesis to the M philosophy...) and I know the "limitation" that once you hold the shutter half way down, the shutter speed it selects stay regardless what you do with the aperture. Most people, including myself, think of it as a limitation... But oh my! It's so simple! It's a quick method to do exposure compensation!!! Hold the shutter half way down and change the aperture! Wow! Mother Solm does know best! At 04:43 PM 1/2/2005, Feli di Giorgio wrote: .... My only complaint about the camera is that I wish it had a exposure compensation lever for +/- a stop like the R8 has.. My way around that is to adjust the lens aperture +/- a stop once I have locked the exposure value by holding the shutter release halfway down.. // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
