I have had the opportunity to get out this weekend with my new Spotmeter V - fir st weekend without gales and rain for weeks ! I have used the meter in the stand ard way by setting the needle value lined up with the arrow and reading a combin ation of shutter/aperture. I also have tried using the IRE scale by metering off the deepest black that I want detail in and setting that value to 1, likewise h ighlights to 10. Using the IRE gives quite different values to using, say an inc ident meter. Has anyone else been using the IRE scale for metering for B & W and /or colo(u)r, if so are there any tips/advice - it seems quite a useful and pote ntially powerful tool.
Thanks
Dave
