[QUOTE="J-see, post: 414482, member: 31330"] I hardly ever use the light meter to get correct exposure. Let me first tell you; I'm the strange duck so it's up to you to make up your mind about what I say. Correct exposure is great if you shoot JPEG but if you shoot RAW, it's no longer about getting the correct exposure but about maximising the data you gather. A light meter is only good to warn you about potential clipping. I try to gather as much "light" as possible while trying to remain in control of any sacrifice to be made. It doesn't matter if the shot is incorrectly exposed when shot since I can always correctly expose it in post. [/QUOTE]
