I'm opening a new thread because I used the internal lightmeter - for better or for worse ...
travel portraiture on Flickr
passing by on Flickr (no, no photobomb, I wanted him in the frame, just fired off the shot a little early ...)
I learned a lot from reviewing the whole film for scanning - the camera itself is a marvel, a great tool even after all these years; but its meter behaves differently from just about anything else I've ever used - it seems to be evaluative in a very "broad" sense; especially when including the sky in any major way, it tends to underexpose hideously - but now that I know that, it should be avoidable in most cases (adding +1.5 to +2.0, depending on foreground ...). Since the camera is fully mechanical, achieving this shouldn't even slow me down significantly.
