Have now tried 3 times to do this...

Like you I have now carried out the test multiple times (4 if I'm honest). My experience is similar to yours with slightly different readings at different points of the picture. I have four different sets of results but in none of the tests has the "correct" exposure produced a reading of 128 (plus or minus 15). I have found through changing the setting on the camera in 1/3rd of a stop increments the nearest I can get to 128 is at an exposure between 1/3rd and 2/3rd over the metered reading.

Am I being completely clueless or does this ring true for some others?

Cheers

See my original post which started this thread and Garry's and Angela's replies- they may be of some help/comfort to you. Your experience was very similart mine.

You will see from Garry's reply that whilst your readings may vary from the base line, you are not necessarily going to be marked down provided your submission shows you have understood the purpose and parameters of the exercise and you interpret your results accordingly.

Hope this helps.
