Don't quite get your meaning - but, I was brought up on feet and inches and
still can't think of people's heights in metric (the suspect was 1.79m tall
- huh?) but find it much easier to estimate focussing distance in metric. I
think because flash distance measurement only needs to be fairly crude, a
large unit works well.
