You won't be using the camera off of a tripod at -1 EV (at any EI) and even then, you'll be bracketing. In a dark room (not black, just dark, Scandinavian dark) I just covered my meter and took a reading: 3 EV (at EI 800). I sure wouldn't worry about the difference between -1 EV and 0 EV. It's not practical (mind you, if you ever take pictures in that light, you'll be bracketing anyway). It's 4 pm here and everything is covered by snow (ie: bright). I just stuck my hand out the window and got 6 EV. That 1/60 @ 1.0 (EI 100). Hey, I think I need one of those (Noctilux).
