Yes you're quite correct there are times when you have to fiddle things, but that comes from past experience or learning by your screw-ups after the fact of looking on the light table. Or all that they need to know is to bracket... shoot one at the meter setting, over expose one and one under and bob's your uncle. Or as some shooters I know call it....."Spin the Ring!" wide open to stopped right down and don't mess with numbers as some where in there will be a few correct exposures and special effects. :) But then isn't film cheapest item of any shoot? :) ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
