Ken, I think possibly the problem is that tungsten light tends to be very uneven - that is, areas close to the light source are very bright and areas away from it are very dark, and not that you have to down rate the film speed per se (you may do that for your film's "true speed" but that would be a different issue). Therefore, any exposure error is probably just that, exposure error. Of course you can just listen to Uncle Ted: turn the M7 to auto and just :light, eyes, action: shoot! // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
