There are other factors that affect meter calibration. I simply reported the results, but they raised more questions. Please stay tuned. I don't understand the reasons for the differences. They may have been affected by the focal lengths used and the internal construction of the different meters. My only finding so far is that a new Varta PX625 U battery seems to be less than one/half stop off relative to the mercury PX625 battery. I will repeat my meter tests under more controlled conditions, with different focal lengths etc. Chris At 01:21 PM 8/7/96 -0700, you wrote: >It sounds to me that the M6 and Pentax are calibrated a stop down in >exposure biasing them for transparency film, where the other cameras >are at the nominal value which would be best for negative films. > >I dunno.
