[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've started yesterday, after comig back home, shooting my new M7. In some weeks I'll put some of the pictures in my web site if some of them does it worth. But my first film was used in a very particular test. I loaded Sensia II chrome, which does not allow light mistakes, and I shooted the whole film F1:8, lenses on hyperfocal and "every" picture just on point and shoot manner. I didn't even select the point where the ligh had to be chosen, just point and shoot exactly like the most dumb tourist. Guess what? Every picture was metered dead on! And this with 12mm, 21mm, 28mm, 50mm and 90mm lenses as the field covered by the meter seems to change and to be bigger when the focal increases. And that with all kind of situations: back light, front light side light.So that from now I'll have full faith in my M7 metering system. I was used to my Nikon F5 metering system, IMHO the more sofisticated metering system ever built, but, with a much more simple technology results of the M7 do match.
