I have the highest respect for Fred. But I disagree with this belief. For most situations, this is true, but I shoot in really bad light quite often, and there is no way an incident meter is going to work for me. I can't stop and hold up the meter in a situation where things are happening and there is not time, and it's highly unethical to shout "stop" wait 'til I get a reading! It just depends on how much you need "help" in metering, or how fast you work. Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Ted Kennedy
