Damn you 1DX!!!!!

I've got a question for all my fellow 1DX owners here:

Regarding spot metering linked to the AF point, does it work in AF point expansion too? The manual says it doesn't work in zone or auto AF, so I just want to clarify.

On page 179, it says that, "Spot metering linked to any of the 61 AF points will be possible." and the omission on page 328 that simple says, "Spot metering will be linked to the manually-selected AF point," I'm sure it will work with AF point expansion. Of course it would have been faster to try it out on the camera than write this post, but alas...

I haven't open the manual yet. I took a test shot and it seems spot metering does work in expansion.

Kinda nice to use spot metering with outer AF points without pushing* ;D

I tried it at the store...fell in love.

I imagine it's a lot cheaper than marriage, divorce, children or criminal defense attorneys.

I just broached the subject of the camera with my girlfriend. She gave me a look like I might not have to worry about marriage after all... :'(

I must always remember: "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission."

get the camera... look for a new girlfriend

Nah, she is a keeper. Brought it home and she just rolled her eyes. Told me to "have fun," laughed and went about doing her own things.

She's pretty understanding of my cameras and motorcycle obsessions.

So, you ready for 300, 400, 200-400 and/or 600mm

Oh I'm definitely ready! My bank account, on the other hand, is not. All those sound wonderful though!
