I am using a Nikon F5 from its launching and every pic was well exposed. Well some were wrong when I pased to manual metering. Of course you need to know how it works, but it is absolutely usefull to have a good meter and trust it when you take photographs in a hurry! And Nikon and Canon and ...Leica have one. Have you ever tested a camera with a modern metering ( matrix or other similar) or your opinion is not based in a large experience? Technology never replace skill but helps a lot and in itself is not a thing to be rejected. Kind regards Félix
