i do the same often. still it would be nice to have access to exp in an easier way.In the traditional mode, and using the auto (aperture) setting, I usually do the calculation in my head. i compose and focus on the scene, and then if i need exposure compensation i point the camera toward a brighter or darker field of view while watching the time setting in the viewfinder. At the point were I am happy with the exposure I half press the shutter and hold to lock the exposure, recompose and shoot. This usually only requires small movements of the camera, and is quick and easy to do. It makes me think about highlights and shadow, and has served me well in most situations on all of my M cameras (6, 6TTL, 8, 9 & M). John
the movie button on the top plate would be nice. press it and then you have 3 sec to turn the wheel.
just turnung the whell without having to press any button is alitle problematic that you change the setting accidently whithout noticing.
