Ummm... recall that the discussion was about multi-spot metering.
Nothing else. A tactile machine only goes so far when taking lots of
different measurement.
The fact that I'm inspecting the histogram means that I have also taken
the picture. I'm just evaluating whether it's good enough or not which
includes more than exposure. And I don't need to count clicks. I can
see shutter speed and aperture in the viewfinder with the metering
display showing +/- 2 stops in 1/3 stop increments.
OM's are very nice machines. I know because I have about 10 of them.
But I almost don't use them anymore.
