Me neither.  Though, I've never tried it.  :-)

We had a big yack about the value of incident meters being the ants 
pants a second ago, in relation photographing differing skin colours.  
Various folks pointed to the advantages of assessing the light by some 
method that is independent of the actual subject being shot.  So where 
is the advantage of an M7, with aperture priority automatic mode, and 
highly reactive to the subject?

I'd prefer to set my meter for light that I just know, or, meter off a 
mid tone somewhere and then shoot till I need to re-assess.  An M7 on 
auto would not work this way.  Nor would I stay as mindful of what the 
light is up to.

But then I see that many love the M7.  Perhaps I should try one.  :-)

Rick.
