partial metering on elan2

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon EOS FAQ forum : One Thread

some have said that the partial metering system (9.5%) on the elan2 is no good... since i'm still debating between an a2e or elan 2e, this seems quit important

Do you need the narrower spot or not? That is the real question.

The narrow spot is helpful, but several factors will dictate its usefulness. Do you need to spot meter frequently and what is the focal legnth you will spot metering with? Infrequent use and a wide focal may make a narrow spot not too useful.
