Subject: [Leica] How does the Leica R8 calculate exposure in matrix metering mode?

Hi everyone,

I heard that the Leica R8 does a more solid job of calculating exposure 
(esp. for slide film) in matrix metering mode and isn't fooled by 
backlighting like the Canon and Nikon systems. To what extent is that true 
and how does the R8's matrix metering system differ mathematically from that 
of Nikon's and Canon's? It would be rather fascinating to know that the R8 
has 5 zones of exposure measurement relative to Canon's 30-something and 
still the former scores better. Hmm...?
