I find that so much quicker than setting compensation on the Z-1p. Plus I
won't forget to set it back when I'm finished! I only use exposure
compensation when I decide to uprate my film and either use fill flash or hyper
program mode.

To be honest I prefer a spot meter. With an incident I don't have any way to
evaluate contrast, and if the site itself has a wide contrast range some
compensation will be necessary between different photos.

I only wanted a motor drive so I could take a photo without having to distract
myself by winding the film. I don't want a sustained 10fps frame-rate but I do
want the camera to be ready for the next shot reasonably quickly (the Z-1p is
fast enough for me).
