There's so much in the frame that I have no idea how the meter is weighing the importance of difference segments. Center-weighted metering systems are very easy to understand once you spend enough time with them.<
i have very seldom run into situations where evaluative metering hasn't handled the problem with 1/3 and 2/3 stop bracketing in each direction (5 exposures total). even with spot metering, i would do the same in the same lighting conditions. this includes sunsets into the sun with my Sigma 15-30mm zoom, all shot on slide film. i shoot at least half the time at 24mm and wider on my lenses. even when i am certain the meter isn't being fooled, i bracket anyway, just in case i decide i like the changed saturation better when looking at them on the light table.
