It's not true for all exposures, though. What I routinely did with film M's and with the digital M8 is to find an area that is about zone 5 - usually the floor or grass - and meter off of that. For me, that works most of the time. Tina Tina Manley ASMP, NPPA, EP, PI http://www.tinamanley.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
