Use of cheap digital to act as both meter and viewscope

[Frank Petronio]

I guess I am just a slob. I figure my dslr gets me within half a stop and keeps my highlights from burning out on my lab processed B&W... hardly Zone System perfection... but it works well enough for me.

I do concede that I'll pop a Polaroid from time to time just to "trust and verify".

Actually, about the only thing I ever worry about is not blowing the highlights -- everything else just falls where it falls.

(And yes, I used to do the whole Ansel Zone Pentax spot with N+ and N- development, etc.)

Again I have to say how impressed and grateful I am to all contributors.
I have learned so much from these wide ranging reports. Thanks very much.
