[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 797610, member: 12542"] Do it right in the camera is correct. If you ever darkroom printed you don't want jump around getting the exposure right with each negative. If I am in the same spot (the light) I try to keep the exposure constant this is for relatively still objects; i.e. Portraits indoors or outdoors, people as long as its not a sports venue. I was photographing an event (1986) and the last was at the sponsor's home. Near the end of the dinner the newspaper was supposed to show up to take images of the sponsor, the mayor and the guest of honor. Well the guest of honor was getting tired as I was with him for the twelve hour day. Luckily I had some black and white film so I took several images probably f/8 at 1/125 with my flash. After he left the newsman and photographer showed up. I gave the photographer the short roll of 120 B&W and he said to drop by the paper and he'll have the film ready. When I did he commented that it was easy to print because my exposure was not all over the place. When I teach Basic DSLR class I stress to keep the exposure the same if at all possible because it will be very easy to do group of RAW's at a time rather than doing each individual one.
