    I just came across this video that you created that is very useful. I agree about testing that is something I do more often than shooting at times so I can get the right exposure for me and the look I am looking for. Thank you again for sharing this video really enjoyed it.

    Very helpful. I use a Sekonic L478DR with the dome and, switchable, a 5° viewer reflective measurement add-on. I bought it after watching Joe Brady's videos. Now, I can go a step further thanks to yours. THANK YOU, Mark!

    Thanks Mark this is a good video of the metering methods. Do you also find with cinematic type film you would expose for the shadows in zone 5? Most c41 negative film likes overexposure or placing shadows in zone 5. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. My thoughts are with film type as portra 400, fuji 400h, portra 160 and so on.

  • @markharris5771
    @markharris5771 5 років тому +2

    Very interesting indeed.I don’t shoot any video at all but always use a spot meter for 120 film, and I love using my 70 year old Weston Master II for 35mm but I never print that above 8x10 mainly due to the restrictions of my darkroom gear.

    How come when I spot meter my camera to the black board that came with the Sekonic Profiler II, the difference is only 1 stop from the spot reading on the 18% grey.

      Something is not correct with his formula. 8640/180 does not equal 1/48th. It equals 48 so close but clearly he has missed out a step or two.
