VC II Meter Is Ruining My Pictures!

[Stu W]

I purchased a VC II meter a few weeks ago from our sponsor, The Photo Village (plug). Anyway, I keep making the same mistake over and over. I'll get the meter reading, and take the shot. Left out a small part of the operation-transferring the readings to the camera. Meter works great though. Stu

It's all in the details! 🙂

I know where your're coming from. I have the VCII meter for my S2 but also have the Bessa R2S. Particularly when I carry both I sometimes "forget" that I need to manually adjust the S2 after adjusting the meter! :bang:

same problem here, I've had mine for a few months, using it almost daily, and I still forget to transfer the info about 5 shots per roll. 🙂

You think that's bad - I still leave the lens cap on at least once a roll!

Ahhh, this thread is very comforting to me...you should hear my potty mouth lately upon getting my scan cd's

Only once? Man, you're good! 🙂

One day I'll post a whole gallery of the fascinating views of the inside of my camera bag shot either while inserting or removing the camera, or for a while, by the soft release on my Bessa R. 🙂

My VC II works the same way. It looks like they all do that. Maybe the film latitude will help? 🙄 🙄

Hey George,

You get the CS2 sorted out with your NEF scans?

Hey George,

We went to the theater last night so I had a "breather" from playing with CS2 and NEFs. I figure I will have to go through at least two programs: Nikon scan or browser to convert to TIFF and then to CS - so I want to figure out how to do it with the minimum of "clicks"! Also curious if I can figure a way to convert the files on a "batch" basis - not to confident about that but worth some time poking around the software.

So far... I've been good!

But then, my Leica meter is always connected to the shutterspeed dial.

Now, while the exposure may be decent, the pics themselves aren't.

I guess I'm paying too much attention to the details. 🙄

Been there, done that! 😛
