Steve - If you are exposing for the shadows and your scene has lots
of contrast, that would be true. It's not true for all exposures,
though. What I routinely did with film M's and with the digital M8
is to find an area that is about zone 5 - usually the floor or grass
- and meter off of that. For me, that works most of the time.
