OTOH, I bracket willingingly, albeit by necessity, with full shutter
speed excursions. Even chromes take nicely to this, by a lot of
peoples' standards, gross bracketing technique. Before, with the EOS
1n, I honestly could seldom see the differences in 1/3 stop bracketing
and just barely discern 1/2 stop brackets.
Usually do bracketing, however, for macro and close stuff where I'm on
the pod with plenty of time to work out the variables such as whether
to bracket by shutter speed or f stops or both.
