How many people can't produce anything with either of them that is top notch???? I've got these two programs and have to say it isn't as easy as people think it is to use and you need to have a decent sense of color and graphic design for them to be really useful tools. You think a EOS or a F5 is complicated........ HA! They are child's toys compared to making something complex using both Illustrator and Photoshop combined. At least with an EOS you can use it the old fashion way as I almost always use the spot meter, manual exposure and more often than not manual focus. The only time I change the metering pattern is when I use TTL flash and I still set everything manually. I use AF rarely. AS such, I've really had a difficult time adjusting to the meter coverage of the M-6 as it is much larger than my F-1fn's or EOS 1n. It just isn't precise enough for me to meter as I'm accustomed to in many situations I cover, especially with slides. I've toyed with painting part of the metering circle black to reduce the coverage, any suggestions??????? Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador
