Re: R5/R6 Metering

The advantage of evaluative metering is just that - weighted to take the point(s) in focus into more account than the rest. Most photographers tend to focus on the important part in the image, at least most of the time.

Spot metering linked to a focus point is no problem. Just buy a 1-series Canon. The 1DX Mark III is the current camera with this feature. Otherwise aim the center at the point you want to meter, press *, recompose and shoot.
Or use evaluative, as it makes this automatically but easier to handle, since it doesn't go all the way to spot only.
