That's the people who simply spin the dials until everything lines up. But I would suspect that many Leica users are past this point and the fact that Leica has multiple metering options in the R cameras and a semi-spot in the M6 means that mindless doesn't work so well. But on the other hand, anybody who thinks they can do better without a meter is fooling themselves. Knowledge combined with a meter (reflective is more accurate in the hands of a person who knows what they're doing, incident is faster and more appropriate for down-and-dirty quick shooting) is the best combination of all. In camera or in hand. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch They have what is rare in still photography - the mobility of film, motion, evanescence, fluidity...your camera has a thousand eyes which are directed by love and feeling. - -Anias Nin
