For my likes! Granted the pictures aren't "all perfect!" :) But exposure is right on the mark for the saturation that I prefer. I use the center weighted mode and if in doubt, I'll check what the multi-pattern reading is for a back-up. The spot meter is just that "spot on!" As far as changing ASA for any of the films I use, Kodachrome, E200, 100S&SW or B&W, I set the meter for the ASA I require and that's it. ted
