ChiILX1 Posted July 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Where can I find one of these? I'd like one for my Leica-meter-M (it's not an MC). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted July 7, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2011 With respect, I think it is a waste. Just use your meter to read off your hand, or something nearby that is approximately 12% grey (adjust to your exposure/development tech.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiILX1 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks. I just shot a couple two days ago in interesting light conditions and had difficulty determining proper exposure. The lightmeter app on my iphone had one reading which asked for more exposure than my X1 (which I was using as a light meter) and my leicameter m. The Leicameter M and the X1 are always identical, but their pictures look a tad underexposed when the picture isn't in direct sunlight. I'm shooting Portra 160 (it's like the old NC) and 160 VC, and read that perhaps they should be overexposed. So I've now adjusted the meter to 100 ISO even though the film is 160 ISO, thinking that should help expose it more, and set the X1 to compensate by 2/3 stop as well (I think 100 would be overexposing by 2/3 stop yes?). Reading the leicameter m manual it said the incident diffuser would help me take a reading from the position of the subject that is more accurate than the leicameter-m, which sometimes worries me since I'm never precisely sure where it's taking the reading from (cover up or down), although cover down it's usually pretty close to what the 90mm framelines are someone said. Any other advice you can provide would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_S Posted July 7, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2011 You could just get the tiny Gossen Digisix meter. It is accurate, has an incident metering dome built-in, and it weights only 39 grams. Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
