I have been a professional (and well published) photographer since 1984 and befo re that I assisted for a few top level national pros for three years; I understa nd and use a (modified) zone system to help previsualize the final image when ev aluating the contrast range of a scene or a setup and I have never seen or felt a need in still photography for meter readouts in EV readings (much preferring t o use the direct language of the camera, f-stops). So can someone tell me why yo u would want to read light in EV numbers and then translate that to f-stops? It seems clumsy and inelegant but maybe there is a reason I am unaware of.
