Not familiar with that model. Does it have a Columbo V12?
I've found the 458 Italia to be pretty nice.

Autocorrect - I've edited it now... but really, as a former Rover SD1 owner, I have a soft spot for the Ferrari Daytona...Marc!
I do not use auto bracketing but I do think exposure for color negative is critical. I don't want to be more than 1/3 stop of what I think is correct.
One time for fun, I scanned some bracketed 135 shots into PS and merged them into an HDR image, like you would with a digital camera. It did not produce the same results. Sure, the increased dynamic range was there, but it multiplied the grain by 3! I might revisit that experiment one day when I'm looking for an unusual effect.
It's interesting to me that auto bracketing came out about the same time as matrix metering. It seems just as cameras started to actually meter light reliably, manufacturers taught us to quit trusting them. About the only time I could see myself using an auto bracketing feature enough to justify buying a new camera for it would be with IR film. And I don't suppose any of these auto bracketing cameras meter so well with an R72 filter attached, do they?

Well since almost all new cameras today are digital there is absolutely no need for bracketing. Chimping then adjust is much better.
I am sure it has a lot to with the film and the scanner+software used. I am sure I've done some and will post. I'd be interested to see your results too.
An in-camera meter is essentially blind to infrared, and basal metering (and focusing) is best done by experience, or following established guidelines (of which individually there are many about!). IR photography, when first starting out, frequently requires exposure bracketing (with adjuvant note-taking!) to arrive at the ideal combination for any particular scene.
It is hoped that photographers have sufficient skill to make a judgement call on the meter's recommendation, rather than treat what the meter sees and measures as gospel. It is a guideline (albeit with advance meters, a very good one) and there is a lot of room to advance or retard the meter's recommendation. AEB is a part of that and is a very valuable learning aid.
±0.3 for negative film???
The Pentax PZ-1 (and probably PZ-1p) offers 3 photo auto bracketing, ranging from 0.3 EV over/under to 2.0 EV
I agree that's a bit silly!
