EV has pretty much gone away with today's cameras with built-in
metering and in many cases, control of both shutter speed and aperture
without even letting the photographer control anything (in the cheaper
point-and-shoot cameras). :-)

The Canon A1 was one of the first with full "program" exposure/speed
controls. They were/ARE very good cameras and its taken 30 yrs for
the digitals to catch up to their abilities.

I shoot digitals MOST of the time..but regularly burn film in the A1s
(along with some of the other 50 or so film cameras I own)

I was once told by a “gun safety” advocate back in the Nineties
that he favored total civilian firearms confiscation.
Only the military and police should have weapons he averred and what did I think about that?

I began to give him a reasoned answer and he
cut me off with an abrupt, “Give me the short answer.”

I thought for a moment and said, “If you try to take our firearms we will kill you.”"
