True, and all the pro bodies can meter with the manual lenses. I am 
not a photojournalist, and haven't needed the features of the pro 
bodies for the most part, so I usually bought one pro body and the 
rest were 'amateur' bodies. I wouldn't even care if the newer bodies 
couldn't meter in all modes with the lenses, but to not even allow 
the basic center weighted metering seems truly stupid.

I can meter AI Nikkor lenses on all Canon EOS bodies, but hardly any 
Nikon bodies from the last 10 years. Duh...
