To shoot my client's radiology textbooks' photographs and text, I set up my copy stand, laid my L-508 meter flat on the stand, and got an incident reading with the cone out. With my R8 set at manual metering, I got perfect exposures. Regarding the MRI and CT film, the former was suboptimal in that it was essentially gray (less than perfect MR technician technique?) while the latter was wonderfully contrasty. I switched my R8 to aperture priority, kept it on matrix metering, and again got perfect exposures in both cases. This was the zillionth time the R8's matrix metering has astounded me! I've had Nikon F5 users brag that that body's metering has no competition, but when I've shown them results I've obtained with my R8 they've stopped boasting. Bravo, Solms!!!! By the way, the Agfa Scala is incredible. I pulled it one stop to ISO 100 per Agfa's recommendation and got exactly what they said I would. Thanks, again, Tina: Terry > This should be similar to making dupes with my R8 and the Beseler slide > duplicator. I just use the averaging meter (not spot) in the R8 and they > come out perfectly.
