Why on Earth should you not be able to use CW metering in manual on the R7, given that it has a CW metering mode? There are a million examples of, what I call, senseless design out there so don't climb into your armour and mount that white stallion just because I chose a Leica example ;) Can anyone else think of a good example of senseless design? Something that there seems to be no rational reason for, but which is exceedingly annoying (let's keep to cameras, at least ;) M. - -- Martin Howard, Grad.
