Metering in coloured light
Bill, do you compensate for this by lowering the ISO setting?
If so, by how much?
With colour print film, I generally overexpose by 2/3 of a stop as a
matter of course.
Slide film, I tend to stick to the rated speed and compensate
accordingly.
I've never had much luck with the LX in auto. I'll be happily
shooting away, and when I process the film, find a few shots per roll
that are, for no apparent reason, 4 or so stops underexposed.
My LX used to do that, too.
Interesting, I cannot say that I can recall any of my five doing that.
As a matter of fact, the ladies at the lab I use used to comment that I
was the most consistent in shooting a complete roll that they have come
across.
It is true that I still use a handheld meter, but I have often relied -
especially in low light - on the LX meter...
