Quote: Thanks Nigel. I think investment in a hand-held meter is probably the best option for me as I will still be carting around my DSLR as well. I'm not going to lug my old Nikon FE around just to use as a meter and I know the meter in my DSLR won't be correct for film.
Why will the meter in the DSLR not work? I am not saying it will work, but asking why not. I assumed that say ASA 100 on a DSLR was a way of relating the sensitivity of the camera to somthing that is relative to the available light and not CanonASA or NikonASA but good old ASA. Time to play with the EOS5 and 5D see if they agree.
