I’m curious how people go about setting and checking exposure. My early pentax DSLRs were really bad at metering, so I just got in the habit of always checking the histogram. Blownout highlights really annoy me. I also ran into an interesting metering issue with flowers and other saturated colors, in that the metering isn’t color sensitive so that I’d blow out one or two of the channels (usually red) while everything else had plenty of lattitude.
I have gotten to the point that if I’m not shooting action and running up against the K-1s miserable buffering, I’ll just bracket nominal and under by a couple of stops for safety, and not having to worry about it. Most of the time the dynamic range on the later sensors is so good, that running a bit under on the raw images is no problem at all.
