Heck I even use an external meter with the M6 or M7. I much prefer incident metering over reflective, but when push comes to shove and you are running after people in fast changing light conditions (mostly indoors) or try to nail a grab shot on the fly, the AE in the M7 is a big advantage. Only thing is you have to smart about what you are pointing it at... > I really do have to get a loan of an M7, coz the penny just ain't > dropping. }:-| Try it if you get a chance. I was skeptical at first, but it's pretty nice. Heck it's the same metering system as in a M6/MP but it the camera 'turns" the shutter speed dial for you. ;-) > Rick.
