[Leica] BESSA R3A or M7 (now metering)

[MichaelW at CadoganManagement.com (Michael Waldron)]

I agree with KISS, but I think it comes after experience.  The more I 
photograph, the easier it becomes to be 'stupid' and keep it simple!

Somehow, keeping things in the back of the brain makes it a lot easier, and 
I mostly leave the trusty M7 on auto, too.

Digital is even better -- shoot once, look at the histogram, tweak a bit and 
keep on going!

Michael mon ami,
Any mention of zone system sends shivers up my back! Because the only zone 
I've ever been concerned with is the de-militarized zone I've been near! ;-)

And given I'm an old dog now changing metering methods would only screw-me 
up more than I am. :-) Besides for 55 years I've used the KISS system. :-) 
Through the camera if possible, incident if necessary.

However an excellent book suggestion by the way.  ""Beyond the Zone system"
