oh i was thinking that FA used center-weighted meter by default and matrix metering could be activated by pushing a little button under the timer. thanks for the clean explanation.

This is correct, the FA has both matrix and centre weighted metering and you change from one to the other by pushing and turning the little button.

oh apparently, there is an adapter on my lens so i feel like an idiot 🙂 my apologies...

Don't. If you've never seen the lens before the adapter isn't exactly that evident. The party trick is to demonstrate that the lens can be removed both by screwing it out and by releasing the bayonet, to the non Leica crowd that is.

I love the lens. On the M7 it is a real 28mm, on my R-D1 (due to digital sensor crop value) a 43mm. Each to his own, but I love the FOV it gives, and last but not least the image quality is not that bad either. The only way you can find out how to make good shots is shoot some shots. Make notes of different settings and you'll be adept at using the combo in no time.
