Exposures seem to be all over the place with the EOS 1D and 550EX so I review and adjust to get a good balance and histogram. Everything else is minor and adjusted in PS.
As to gray cards I have always carried one and still do! I also carry a handheld incident meter that I use pretty regularly. It seems odd to me that using a Minolta Autometer cordless handheld I can get absolutely dead on exposure with studio flash and EOS 1D but with the dedicated 550EX initial exposures are a crap shoot not to be trusted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------ Yes, but there is very little latitude in digital. Its much like shooting transparency film so you have to be far more careful when exposing. For me I like -1 under and +3 over latitude and will stick with film because of that for now. Plus no focal multiplier and very sharp wide angle images that are usually softer when using a wide angle on a digital camera.
