Sorry.  As an M6 owner, I thought the M7 metered on a center spot like the
M6.  Does the M7 meter very differently from the M6, or have my M6
assumptions also been wrong?

Thanks.........Julian

Thank you, Julian!

Actually, if the M7 had spot metering, I would have used it.  Since it only
has the averaging center-weighted meter, I have to pick out something to
meter on.  Since the R8 does have spot metering, I use it for tricky
back-lit situations.  I didn't take the R8 this trip - just the R6.2.  It
has a pretty good spot meter, too.  I don't remember whether I shot any
color of this scene but I'll start developing the color slides
tomorrow.  I'm almost finished scanning B&W!  I don't know what I'd do
without the LUG to read while I'm waiting for slides to scan.
