Overexposure Theatre

TODO: write some text here, set to public. And why does the Nikon D50 turn off TTL metering when you're not using a CPU-lens? My old N90s and Nikkomat from the 70's (think F2) could TTL meter just fine with anything I stuck on it. It makes getting the exposure correct a pain.

Do you think that it would look better flipped like this?
