Ted, Just to play devil's advocate: Doesn't it become tiresome to do this on shot after shot after shot, since the M7 doesn't remember the AE compensation past the current shot? With the M6 I'll meter the ground, grass or whatever once, and then shoot away until the lighting changes -- without the need to reframe on each shot. It seems to me that, when this technique is used with the M7, it is actually more work not less. What do you think?
