Metering

[sevo]

I agree with Bill... besides, isn't there a mantra that goes something like "for transparency meter the highlights, for color print meter the neutral and for black and white on the shadows"?

That is a very ancient mantra. For anything that can still be processed, leave out "meter the neutral" and you are set - C41 put an end to CN film that was vulnerable at both the highlight and shadow end...

I don't think my buyer is very bright. I got an email from him and now it won't meter at 400asa and 1/30th in bright sunlight with a 50mm lens. I told him it won't and if he wants to return the camera that would be fine but he still wants it and is going to wait till his film comes back from the lab.

If he did like he says he did originally he'll find out the meter is in fact reasonably accurate..

We'll see...........
