I use a Mamiya 7. I find the metering quite good. I simply use the usual measures when shooting contrasty scenes. Most shots are dead on. My biggest problem is remembering to reset exposure compensation when using filters!! PS I dream of an updated 7 with TTL metering and a large digital display on the back so you can actually see your settings. -----Original Message----- From: pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Justin F.

I'm really looking for a MF camera that I can lug around with me to shoot "fun" stuff with. So a good reliable meter is a must. I don't want to have to muck around with a spot meter. I deal enough with that with my 4x5 and my Pentax meter. ;-) J -- Justin F.
