If you can lay you hands on an old weston V, it would be ideal. Terry_______________

rpolitsr Cream of the Crop  More info | Jun 10, 2006 18:33 | #12 If you do not have the light meter, you can use the number that appears in the upper left corner of the LCD (and EVF in the Pro1) when you are shooting in Manual to read the difference in f stops from your settings to the ‘standard’ exposure calculated by the AE function of the camera. rafael

There are umpteen books written on using hand meters. good tip.. i didn't think about using the Av or the Tv as a light meter source. 5DMKII Gripped | 30D Gripped | 50mm f1.4 | 24-70mm f2.8L | 70-200mm f2.8L IS | 430EX | 580EXIIhttps://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=416554
