[QUOTE="STM, post: 113747, member: 12827"] If you are going to use this approach, the scene you need to use with both has to be [I]homogeneous in exposure value[/I], like a cloudless sky or sidewalk, etc. Because unless the digital camera is set to centerweighted mode (I can't think of any of them but my knowlede of digital cameras is not very extensive) it may meter the scene very differently than the 60% centerweighted metering of the F2.
