Has anyone done any comparisons with the Canon D30 (or D60) comparing it to the film cameras, in studio, and noticed a different f-stop needed for each? What I mean is that you set the lights up and meter it at f:8 but you end up shooting a stop different with your digital camera? Just curious.

Haven't noticed that kind of behaviour, but in any case it's not because of digital technology but rather a calibration error in one or more of the equipment used.
