Hi everyone, I heard that the Leica R8 does a more solid job of calculating exposure (esp. for slide film) in matrix metering mode and isn't fooled by backlighting like the Canon and Nikon systems. To what extent is that true and how does the R8's matrix metering system differ mathematically from that of Nikon's and Canon's? It would be rather fascinating to know that the R8 has 5 zones of exposure measurement relative to Canon's 30-something and still the former scores better. Hmm...?
