Ya know people love to bring that point up about how you can see results immediately on a digital and for the most part it's true...but I cannot tell you how many times an image looked great on that teeny tiny microscopic lcd screen and when I finally got it onto my computer I was disappointed. Exposure which looked fine in camera, is not quite right, blurriness which wasn't visible before is now glaringly apparent, yada yada....the list is long. Misha brings up a good point about TTL metering...when you have any kind of filter on your lens, such as a polarizer, taking an incident meter reading means that you have to take into account the effect that will have on your exposure and correct it manually. Doing a reading thru the lens your camera will be automatically figuring in the difference in stops....less chance for exposure errors.

I am, therefore I create.......
