  3. Gossen vs. Sekonic meters - don't mix em

    Bill, you're speaking about photography "under all color temps" in the field etc. Experience is your best bet - after all, the temps are not so impredictable. You can learn with your MF format to...
  4. Gossen vs. Sekonic meters - don't mix em

    Bill, get it right - if you want 2 meters be exactly the same in their measuring buy two identic meters. It's as simple as that.
  5. Gossen vs. Sekonic meters - don't mix em

    You got it , at last.
  6. Gossen vs. Sekonic meters - don't mix em

    Actually Bill, your problem is easily solvable. Buy a second Sekonic meter and you'll be in the heaven you're looking for.

    Moonlight film

    Hypered film is used for very long star skies exposures (tens of minutes). What's his problem exactly? Using normal films (100 - 400 ASA) with exposure up to 2 minutes is no problem with moonlight.

  15. Schneider Digitar 47 mm on 6x9 field camera

    No, JC, they are surely not different lenses. I think it could have a logical reason - 60 mm for 24x36 and 30x30, 80 mm for 44x44 and 60x60 and 113 mm for 60x90. ??
