[OM] Re: A problem with digital

[Jez Cunningham]

Yup - but:
You get no metering, read ZERO metering - but you have instant histogram 
feedback after your first sunny-16 guess.
You get manual focus but WITH a confirmation light (and probably a beep if you 
want it).
You get stop-down viewing (wide open to view, stopped down when you press the 
shutter).
Not too bad really... but Big Ron is for sale - I'm after the AF equivalent 
WITH metering!
