That's a tricky shot!
Don't forget to point the spotmeter at something, that you want i the

I don't understand why the histogram from shooting a white or black wall
does not show a peak in the middle? AN average metering should result in a

Hi Shel
thanks, I like late replies too... :-)
I enjoyed your thoughts about film processing and b/w film.

Hi Markus,
A bit late, but thought I'd jump in anyway.
Until recently I used an analog Pentax Spotmeter V as well as a Zone VI

Yes. I have a Sekonic L-608 (electronic, flash, spot, etc) and a

Analog? I don't have one. Got a couple of digital meters,

Absolutely. Pentax Spotmeter V.
Even with 135 on occasion.
Averaging meters don't always cut it.
Being 1/2 stop off on 135 can be tolerated but
being 1/2 stop off on 4x5 or 8x10 makes a diff in the neg.
Even makes a diff with 120. Why? Because 135 loses enough shadow detail and
highlight
I was about to say yes until I paid attention to the word 'analog'. So,
NO. I use a Gossen Luna Pro Digital F. I like this meter because it
will tell me the flash and incident light readings simultaneously,
making it really easy to balance fill flash. Dave
I use a Gossen Luna Pro from time to time, I use a Minolta flash
meter in the studio (except when shooting digital, and a Zone VI
modified Pentax digital spot meter (not analogue, I realize) when
shooting large format.

Oh boy. Missed that completely.D'oh.
However the iv F has an anolog scale which i do look at.lol

Three Norwood Directors around here somewhere plus one or two stripped
down for parts. One went successfully through calibration a couple
of years ago. Works just fine. Keep them mostly for the memories ---
first one came into the family in 1949 --- for use with the vacation

Yes. I have a Sekonic L-608 (electronic, flash, spot, etc) and a

with my Leicas, which don't have

I still use a Pentax Spotmeter V from time to time. It's invaluable

sunset. It's also great for determining the exposure range of a scene,
