That's exactly why I'm thinking the measurement still needs some
compensation --
you're measuring the light falling onto it.  However, you're *not* measure
the light
that's reflected -- and after you take the incident reading, the film (or
sensor :)
onto which you're recording is in reflected light, not incident light.  The
incident
reading will certainly be more accurate but might still need a tweak or two.

Maybe not, but it just seems logical to me.  Can anyone else comment on
this?
