Yup. And if you are using AF without the flex focus point, where it
selects whatever it wants, the exposure weighting automatically moves
with it. Canon DSLRs do the same thing. This was something Canon
exploited very well with the EOS-3 and managed to be quite successful.
But according to people in the know, Minolta, with the Dynax 7 really
got it nailed and that same system migrated into the 2/3" sensor
cameras and really perfected in the A1/A2/A200.
Without a doubt, the Dynax 7 remains on my own shortlist of must-have
film cameras. I realize it has zero compatibility with anything I own,
but it's just such a near-perfect camera otherwise. Shame about the
lens mount...
All this talk about metering, and I have a couple of OM's within arm's
reach just screaming to be used.
