My Nikon DSLR has a manual metering mode, but the camera isn't designed to use that as the primary method to meter. So, metering manually is cumbersome. I've found that automatic metering works as well or even better. One mistake I made in buying the new system was getting a telephoto lens without the stabilizer. In bright light the lens works just fine, but in low light, especially when I want to freeze movement, a low shutter speed leads to blurriness I wouldn't have with stabilization. A tripod doesn't help when I want to freeze motion.
