- I think anyone who compare different metering system in different
- cameras are missing somehting. What make you think the "subject",
- under any of the mentioned metering system, is always middle gray?
- While you are at it, seems to me the trend in new gee-whiz cameras
- today is toward more and more metering modes. Before long, there
- will be a metering mode for every possible situation, all one has to
- do is figure out which mode is the right one. I think it's much easier
- to learn one metering mode, the zone system. I wouldn't want to be the
- one who has to figure out what the 5 zones what not metering mode is
- actually doing in order to dial in the correct exposure compensation.
