I am not yet ready to surrender that all of that first EV all of the time. More practice required. Gee I wish it had the EV comp on an analog dial on top. I hate menus. I got a case for it with a flap that covers the display. Two advantages. No left eyed nose grease and stops me chimping too much.! Really I need to get used to the metering patterns and use the AE lock like on my M7. Don't need no stinkin' histogram when I'm shooting.
