Gotta catch the light.
Results of photoshoot:
I thought I'd close the loop for anyone interested.
The MF/ Hasselblad pictures came out really well. I took the metering from both my Canon A-1 and T-70 (average and spot-ish metering respectively) and used the reading for the Hassy as I figured it would be a reasonable lightmeter substitute. I shot with Fuji Provia on the Hassy and Velvia on the A-1 both at 100 ASA. The MF shots were generally what I was expecting, with me erring on the slightly underexposed side since the high res scanning can recover from it easier than overblown highlights.
Strangely, almost all the A-1 shots were *way* underexposed. The landscape shots were a little bit into the sun, but both the MF and A-1 were taken from the same tripod and at the same time. In other shots on the A-1 roll things were more or less okay. The MF shoot was an interesting experience - every shot counted and I like the mechanical, deliberate feel of the gear. It's not portable, but the manual everything really forced me to think. I appreciate the advice on the forum. I've picked a shot that's going to be scanned to create a 50MB or so file.
Cheers,
