Mike,

This kind of comment has been made before and always makes me curious as to
why my experience is so different. In my family room, with 4  - 75 watt
lights in ceiling fixtures and a 100 watt table lamp on with EI 400 film, my
M6 meter says 1/8 or 1/15 at f1.4. Even inside our office building during
the day (but away from the windows) the exposure on EI400 film is 1/30 or
1/60 at f2.  Am I the only one who seems to always be in the dark?

Ken
