[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 367639, member: 13090"] Well, let's be careful... What exactly is "perfect exposure"? What amounts to "perfect exposure" for one scene, obviously, is not going to be "perfect exposure" for another. In my opinion if my light meter is NOT consistently exposing an 18% grey card to 18% grey then there's a problem. Now, if it is *consistently* exposing to, say, +.5EV, I can deal with that in the Fine Tune Exposure setting (at least on my D7100). Same goes for a consistent -EV; as long as it's consistent, it can be dealt with. In my opinion it's still a defect but a defect that can be easily worked around. If the exposure was INconsistent by any significant degree then the camera is simply defective and needs to be repaired. My point in all of this was that meters give us a BASELINE of exposure; not "perfect" or even "correct" exposure (except by coincidence); correct exposure is always up to the photographer to decide. Meters meter for 18% grey 100% of the time; that is the baseline we, as the photographer must work off of. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
