I don't doubt this, but my point was that very few modem technobricks seems to
meter much below 1EV, whereas my 4T says it will go to -5EV, which is quite a
difference. Or as you alluded to, even if they do, most technobrick slaves have
no idea how to make the camera do what *they* want...
Since I work with computers all day long, I have *zero* interest in learning
yet another computer platform in my photography - it is an escape for me.
