Thanks to all. I really would like to take my Pentax V spotmeter along, but it's soooo big and heavy and won't fit in a pocket. Perhaps if somebody sells me an Pentax Digital Spotmeter ;-))) ?
I am IMHO proficient in the use of spotmeter (although it's not colour calibrated by Zone IV or other source), but for B&W film, I wouldn't take any meter at all and trust my mind (as it's most fun, and now with experience works quite well). But I will be shooting chromes, and there I thought a meter would be better. Anyway, I will use the 6 degree "spotmeter" built-in in my rangefinder camera to guess and fine the exposure, and maybe use the reflective mode of the incident meter. 2) question - you all told me to use dome and point it AT camera. But that's for faces and such things, but landscapes are flat - there is not light from underneath like in 3D objects like faces - so wouldn't it be better to use the flat diffuser or dome but parallel to the landscape? '3) Perhaps I will just take the spotmeter and cope withj the bulk :) Yes, I probably will. but out of curiosity, what about above #2 ? thanks a lot Frantisek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
