And if you wanna use Bill's idea and really push it (the idea, not Bill), you'd use a 1° spot meter because, really, our Pentax cameras spot meter isn't that spot. It is around 5° or more AFAIR.
If you're really too rich, get a Sekonic L758 which you can profile with your DSLR sensor specs (DR etc.) and that bloody 758 (which embeds a 1° spot meter) will tell you if the scene has too much EV four your sensor to eat. Neat isn't it? Now, who has the money for that, I dunno :) 2011/4/12 William Robb <[email protected]>: > On 12/04/2011 12:09 AM, Dario Bonazza wrote: >> > >> All this thread subset about bracketing other than exposure is pointless >> then.
