Lots of stuff in this message, and I won't try to address it all. The
metering prism is very nice, but you have to switch the meter on. And if
the lens has been removed since the meter was turned on, you have to do
it all over again with the meter on. As with any meter, you have to
consider what the meter is evaluating when you take your reading. the
last low light inddor model shoot I had, I asked the model to take a
flahmeter reading. I then considered that in result to what you hear on
the street. In the end, it proved more "why huyd.
