n what is the use of spot metering ?
	  When do you use it and with what lenses ?
	  Incidentally , I am surprised to find that the
	  Canon A-1 doesn't allow user interchangeable
	  focussing screens but the earlier model
	  AE-1 Program does ? Can anyone guess why this
	  is so ? Isn't this a drawback ?(The only answer
	  that I can think of is that changing focussing
	  screens is a delicate operation which could
	  potentially damage your camera if you are not
	  careful and therefore better left alone.But
	  Pros will not think like that.)
		     I also want to know if there are
          any real uses for shutter speeds in excess of
	  1 msec.Some cameras like the Pentax have
	  shutter speeds as high as 1/4000 sec.
		     I am looking forward to receiving
          your replies.
		     This is the first time I am sending
          mail via Usenet.If this Group is not meant
	  for this sort of questions please forgive me.
