Yes I agree, but why have it on the camera at all, if you are going to
expose the film at another speed than what it is marked, why not just put
it on the different ASA? This is not getting back to basics as they claim.
Sorry for pushing the point, but I guess I'm a bit grumpy as I have not
gotten the weekends photos back yet, and the replacement lens release
button for my SL will not get here until tomorrow. Will go get the photos
after I finish my lunch, should be in a better mood then. ;-)

All the back will probably do is present a different ASA value to the body.
For example, an ASA of 400 with an exposure compensation of 1 stop would
simply tell the body 200 ASA (or 800, depending on whether it was + or -
compensation). So, I don't see exposure compensation as being an issue.
DX
is another story!
