It took me a while to get used to the AE in my M7, but now I am very comfortable with it. When the light is constant I shoot the M7 like a regular M, using a hand held meter. I do the same with my M6TTL, because I prefer the results of incident over spot metering. But when the action is fast and the light is changing quickly I switch her over in to AE. The AE is also terrific for taking a quick grab shot, when you're not certain about the exposure. All you have to concentrate on is focusing/framing/timing, the M7 takes care of the rest. With the M6, the subject would often notice me as I fiddled with the aperture/shutter speed dial. feli _______________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com
