I shot 10 frames in quick succession the other day with my 21. Moments later I realized that I was focused at 1 meter (shooting at infinity) and I was 4 stops off. I should know better, but it still happens. Makes me think I should get one of those new fangled cameras that automatically set the exposure and the focus. That would solve all my problems. This reminds me of reason I really like using an M6 over other M bodies. At least I notice the meter (when I'm not using an aux finder). I actually prefer the older bodies for everything -- and I've owned nearly every single one -- except the metering. I have 2 M6s and I'd never go back. My M3 has a great finder, but I haven't put one roll through it in 6 months. It was bad when I had an M6 and M4-P. Kept thinking the battery was dead in the M4-P. Dave
