I almost always shoot with the LX in aperture priority mode, but I use the exposure compensation dial to adjust for the scene. That way I can take advantage of the off the film metering and the stepless shutter. The exposure compensation affords me as much control as manual exposure would and involves just as much thought and decision making. I also use an MX quite often, which is of course fully manual. While its exposures are good, they're not quite a match for those of the LX. Paul
