Hi Aram:
To me, the matrix metering system in my Rollei 6008i is the only one
better than that in my R8... and only just barely at that.
I'll try spot metering the next time I have a situation with a "strong
backlight or very dark background occupying over 70% of view". Thanks
for the idea.

In those cases where I suspect a real problem (strong backlight or very
dark background occupying over 70% of view) I switch to spot, but I am
very pleased with the R8 metering. I have never used any other
multi-patterned camera for comparison, however. I shoot exclusively
slides, so any problems would be quite apparant.

Doug,
I've been using my Digilux 1 a lot lately and I always use spot
focusing and,
for the most part, either center weighted, or spot metering. I have
experimented with the multi-pattern metering in the camera, but it
leaves a lot to be
desired, just like the first matrix metering pattern in Nikons. The
original
"AMP" metering on the FA.
The only cameras that I trust multi-pattern metering on are canon
EOS's and
the "F" series AF Nikons, such as F4, F5, F100's.
As far as the focusing, I'd use the LCD and focus on the water
reflection of
the church.
I've done similar shots with the outside, rearview side miror on my
BMW, to
get a rear view of a subject, that one requires spot focus, spot
metering and A
LOT OF DUMB LUCK to successfully pull it off.
