I found Ken's article interesting but I have a much different view of
spot metering (single or multi) for the future. A live histogram is
possible with any form of live view. With a good histogram (maybe
turned on and off with a simple button press) I don't need any spot
metering at all. Even today with my 5D I have never used the spot
meter. If I have any serious question about exposure I'll simply take a
test shot and examine the histogram. Live view would just make that
much simpler and faster as it does in the Minolta A1.
