I'm doing a big clean out of excess cameras and equipment and this process is making me think about what I've got and what I might want to get.
In general, for action, flash, telephoto photography that now is covered by my Nikon dslr.
But I want to keep using film but in a more, contemplative, careful, relaxing type of photography. So still life, some landscape (I know, med format is better), etc. In the case of 35mm that means that film advance speed, AF speed, and anything required to 'catch the action' is irrelevant to me, but what isn't irrelevant is metering accuracy, particularly when shooting slide.
So all of the above is a long winded preface to my question, are there any SLRs that are 'above' the rest in metering accuracy? I know the Maxxum/Dynax 7 displays what honeycomb sensors are reading what, I'm curious about people's experience with that helping one expose better. I've also heard the Canon EOS 3 allow multiple spot metering points to be added to the overall calculation which sounds really interesting.
I already own a Nikon F100 and Pentax PZ-1, both having mult-isegment metering (10 and 8 segments respectively) so maybe those are really more than good enough, but curious what else is out there as far as top tier metering.
Or should I just turn on auto-bracketing and not worry about it?
Thanks!
