Sorry but that's how I shoot and in general it works >beautifully..... just look at the books "Doctors' Work or Women in >Medicine!" ;-) Or any of the earlier ones. :-) I agree. People are making this more complicated than it seems. And I'm not against reflective metering at all, just it seems that pulling out an 18% grey card and having the model hold it, metering off that, then having her drop the card, and then taking the photo seems like a whole lot of trouble. I'll either take a quick incident metering or reflective metering. After two decades of center-weighted metering, it's pretty automatic. I do exposure compensation with centerweighted by pointing the camera to a neutral area of the scene, ae lock, and recompose. It takes less than a second.
