Agreed, totally. The superb dedicated fill that I get with my N---- FE2,
along with its _very_ intuitive match-needle metering, permits very fast,
very precise balance of fill and ambient exposure. I assume that the
later R's are at least as good, but having TTL on an M would provide one
more reason to leave the SLRs at home.
