I understand the high value door areas MIGHT have balanced the dark interior areas... and you got a great technical exposure..... otherwise a spot meter is just that... point it at the object and you get an average metering of that spot only.... The camera does not know that the rest of the frame is pure black ( or white) it just knows that the AVERAGE brightness in the middle 18mm spot of the frame produces a brightness of a specific value.....ie, the M7...... This is really exceptional......I am not convinced that I understand the technical results, but the aesthetic results are truly terrific... a very soft feeling of closeness of the 3....
