I'm sure this topic has been discussed, but I wanted to get some present day thoughts about the use of point and shoot or DSLR for use as a meter for LF work. Questions:
1) How accurate are they compared to say a Sekonic?
2) How difficult is it to replicate/transfer the settings from the digital camera to the speed/exposure one wants to be using with the LF cam?
3) How do people enjoy doing their LF work with a digital camera around or do most still go analog with their metering systems?
Thanks for all contributions towards this. I'm still trying to bite on a digital camera, but what would be the real winner for me is being able to use it as a meter/preview (i.e. eliminates spending $250-$300 on a Sekonic).
BTW...I've shot digital for about 7 years, not so much in the past few...and find it to be "ok", but it's just not at all my style when it comes to being able to shoot with larger sheet film and do contact prints...this is why I've yet to buy into any digital camera because I need to make further use than just snaps.
Thanks again!!!
