Personally I prefer spot metering as I can get a better indication of the dynamic range of the scene. I've also often been in situations where the local light is different to the distant light, and I don't want to overexpose the sunlit mountains in the background. Sunsets are also a bit awkward to measure with an ambient meter. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
