Historically a very good technique I hear. Me I think I just err on the under exposure side. Big time and ass you say pull it all out of the shadows later. I hear that for some odd reason medium format digital technique is the opposite. Why that would be the case if it is is not obvious to me. The concept of all the light from the subject not having to pass through all those grids totally has got me with a monochrome sensor. Highlight separation which I think is the most important part of most images would seem to have to be dramatically helped by the cleanness of the concept.... The directness of the image and light path. Total envy coming from the Saturday morning studio audience.
