It seems an oxymoron to me... reflected light as incident light? Thanks. /matt Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 22:36:07 -0500 From: "Gerhard Paulman" <gerhardp@inch.com> Subject: Re: [Leica] Voigtländer VC Meter Message-ID: <00bc01c0b1b8$11773de0$48c3dfd8@tp.ny.ladas.com> References: You balance the LEDs till the center one (green) is the only one lit. The angle of reading is quite narrow, and you have to decide which elements of the picture in front of you, you want to measure. You can also measure the light reflected off your hand for an incident reading. So basically you take a light reading first, and then frame your picture. It works, I have more problems focusing than to get the exposure right. <g> Gerhard
