Hello Kevin, That sounds a bit odd. Since the camera is not involved at all in the exposure setting (I assume). When I use studio flash (Alien Bees) and meter with my Gossen Luna Pro Digital F, the exposures are just about right. I would think that perhaps your meter is calibrated just a bit

Hello Kevin, What film do you use? If negative, could still be the latitude of the film that is rescuing you from the underexposure. Digital responds more like slide film. What happens if you do an outdoor shot manually with an external meter reading on both slide film and *istD. Seems to me
