I have been using the histogram on my 10D to determine exposure for my 4x5. Works pretty well, but there are still areas that need more exposure. Tried a 1 degree spot meter today, thinking that would be the best solution, and realized that the areas I am concerned with are much smaller than 1 degree in the landscape. Typically these might be shadows under tree branches or in the background, but all fine details. Since moving closer is usually not an option, do you just meter in the general area and eyeball the difference?
