Well some of us are waiting until we see the thing before we react one way or the other. Personally I don't understand some of the objections, it's not as if fitting TTL flash metering suddenly makes it *compulsory* to use flash, after all. The new digital circuitry should stay calibrated longer, of course, not that this has been a problem with the old model AFAICT. It also increases the sensitivity of the meter, which I would have expected to be greeted with enthusiasm by the Noctilux/75-Summilux brigade.
