My MZ-5N overexposes slides in multisegment if there's more than 4 stops in the contrast range. I assume it does so because it's multisegment is biased for negative film. Hence I exclusively use spot for metering slide film. I hear from a friend that the multisegment of MZ-S is dead on with slides, even in very difficult contrast scenes.
Exactly. Even with narrow latitude Velvia I had about 95% of slides perfectly exposed. This can be probably due to the fact, that MZ-S has extra DX contacts, allowing it to recognise exposure lattitude of used film and then MZ-S "knows" if it is slide or negative.
DX code don't contain slide or negative data, only: - Iso setting: 2-6 - film length: 8-10 - exposure lattitude: 11-12 Many bodies use only 1-6. The Nikon F4 don't read exposure lattitude ! See: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/krg/Photo/dx.htm
