Yes and this is one of the reasons why I bought the EOS-3. It's multispot
is a nice feature. Unfortunately (maybe I'm too used to the OM-4Ti), the
EOS-3's multi-spot is "harder to read". As you spot, it is shown in the
viewfinder compensation scale as a mark (i.e. range is +/- 3 F-stops in 1/3
in/decrements). So it doesn't actually tell you in shutter/aperture values
but you have to calculate mentally what readings the spot has taken it at.
The absolute average values (shutter/aperture) though are displayed at the
bottom of the viewfinder, and the exposure compenstation scale is based on
that.
If you have any further queries on the EOS-3, please feel free to ask me.
However, I will be stating my views from an OM-4Ti perspective 'cos I still
feel more comfortable with the 4Ti.
