Presumably it's also possible to do this with a 2S(P), though I guess you'd
have to do the averaging in your head.. It would be a matter of choosing the
aperture/speed you want, taking a spot reading from location X, adjusting
the speed/aperture until the needle's in the right place, remember it; take
another spot reading, adjust again, remember; etc, and then average them
manually and use the result.
Hm. A bit fiddly, but as long as the subject is relatively static it should
be okay. Or am I missing something important here?
