But depending on your skin color, your palm can be from neutral (zone V) to a stop over (zone VI).

It seems an oxymoron to me... reflected light as incident light?

The angle of reading is quite narrow, and you have to decide which elements of the picture in front of you, you want to measure. You can also measure the light reflected off your hand for an incident reading. So basically you take a light reading first, and then frame your picture. It works, I have more problems focusing than to get the exposure right. <g> Gerhard
