If you want instant spot metering, first you need to be in Spot Metering mode.
Then configure the AEL button to lock exposure when you press it.
Yes, the 14-54 is very nice. It's not a 35-80/2.8, but it's very good. I
imagine that the new 14-35/2.0 will be up to the 35-80's reputation, but it
will come at a price.
Yes, ISO 3200 is pretty bad, but with careful batch use of Neat Image or Noise
Ninja, it can be very usable. I use ISO 1600 often with good results (coupled
with NI).
I continue to enjoy my E-1 a lot. I have very few complaints.
