That's interesting and explains something I was puzzling over earlier

Minolta meter that is in the school's studio and my own Polaris. Under

after getting so used to 4X5. No surprise I guess.
Anyway, I suggest any of
An incident meter reports one variable - the light itself. A reflect light

of reflectivity of the subject it is bouncing off.

I thought there wasn't much difference once you get to 300mm or so. I
thought the K300/4 and the 6x7 300/4 were the same lens except for the

why would you want to use the huge, oversized

That $357 may be B&H's price for it new, but it's an older lens and
it can be found often used in excellent condition for more like $160
or so (check KEH). The other 28-105's are the rebadged Tamron version
(same f/4-f/5.6 range, but usually labeled IF for internal focusing,

Yes, the HN-3 is recommended for the 35mm lens, however I have used it on

affords better flare and physical protection. Again, I haven't noticed any
