More amazing Leica: exposure compensation made simple!

I just found out about this and it's so exciting I had to post about it. Old-time Leica shooters may laugh at me, but I'm just discovering it and I want to share it with other Leica newbies:

Want +1 stop exposure compensation? Press the shutter to the second detent on your M8, that locks the exposure, then dial 2 clicks to the right on the aperture ring (3 clicks if you use Zeiss lenses like me). 2 clicks left for underexposure. Forget the SET button!

Amazingly, deliciously simple!
