When I go out and shoot with my Hexar, I always make sure I have either
a ND filter or polarizer in my pocket.  This is still a partial
solution, as the meter sensor is outside the filter area, and I have to
put the camera in manual mode.....  Hoope the new Hexar LS-2 with M
mount can do better.  With a focal plane shutter, it should.
