POLL: 1/2 step or 1/3 EV steps?

[pennylane]

Just wondering what people like to use for shutter/aperture/exposure compensation etc...

I don't use exposure compensation. I shoot in manual.

Even then the aperture and shutter steps can be 1/2 or 1/3 right?

Yup.

I'm a 1/3 guy.

1/3 stops for me! When I had my first SLR, which was a Canon Digital Rebel (300D), it always pissed me off when I could have used the 1/3 stop when adjusting ISO to really fine-tune light settings in sports gyms and such. Stopping action is important and working with f/2 versus f/1.8 can make the difference sometimes. Under-exposing at ISO1600 on a Rebel was a nightmare and no one should do it. Shoot it right or put the camera away!
