Incident metering is very fast and you don't have to think as much, but if say, you are in a shaded valley and photographing distant sunlit hills, you will have to rely on experience and some bracketing because your meter is mostly useless here. Neither can it help you to determine the effects of atmospheric haze on said hills. Where I *do* love incident metering: Macro work, portraits and in general, work in close quarters. Great too, for some street photography, since you can periodically confirm camera settings without forever lifting the thing to your eye or (worse) pointing. - -- Jeff Segawa Somewhere in Boulder, Colorado http://www.boulder.net/~4season
