Nonsense!! Only three things can go wrong: You set the wrong shutter speed; you set the wrong aperture; or you set the wrong focus. Compare that to one of the new plastic-fantastic, automagic-everything cameras: wrong metering mode, wrong exposure mode, wrong exposure compensation, wrong focussing mode, wrong AF range, wrong AF patch selected, wrong film advance speed, etc., etc., etc. > Am I correct, with slides the meter should be set to give a half stop under > exposure, is this so? Only if you like that super-saturated underexposed cliche: Kodachrome 64 underexposed 1/2 stop is so... 80s! ;) M. - -- Martin Howard | Trying to determine human performance by Visiting Scholar, CSEL, OSU | experiments is nothing but the ritual of email: howard.390@osu.edu | The Ballet for the Gods of Invariance. www: http://mvhoward.i.am/ +-------------------------------------------
