I'm not metering through the lens but this is not HIE, it's Maco IR 820. My settings at daylight were f22 @ 1sec. I estimated the EI at 6, and metered accordingly. Maybe the questionable part is how I arrived at EI6. If you just take 5 stops off ISO100 (which is what the box says) you get to EI1.5. That's probably much closer to the speed I needed to be using yesterday. Byron.
