Good article.  Well, I would say that since it largely reflects my own
approach to the subject (I'm the one who traded in his PK gear for a 2SP
because it had spot metering).  I tend to use manual mode though (for
the obvious reason that spot metering doesn't work in auto mode with a
2SP - still waiting for 4Tis to become affordable).  The other major
difference between us (erm apart from doing it professionally that is)
would be the typical size of venue & lighting.  1/250 at F/4?  not in
any of the places I frequent!  My best to date (IMO) needed 1/30 at 2.8
on ISO400 (Ilford XP2).  You can still see that one in the unofficial
Oly gallery at

http://www.taiga.ca/~gallery/subpages/nichols/grist02.html

Real soon now it will appear in my personal site also, along with lots
of others.
