Hello,
I am hoping that I can get some help on how to use a Gossen Lunasix 3s......as I am really stuck. I do not have the manual for it and I am unsure as to how I should use the Zone system dial.
when I take a lightmeter reading I have to turn the dial so that the number from the indicator scale is inline with the yellow triangle in the transfer scale. But what I want to know is, how do I go about placing that exposure on Zone V, or any zone? Do I have to place the same number from the indicator scale opposite the desired Zone V?? From an exposure I took earlier I tried this and by placing the same indicator number (15) opposite both the yellow triangle and opposite Zone V made my exposure 6 stops less? Where am I going wrong? or is this correct?
I know that this may be a really stupid question but I do not have the instructions and the online instructions fail to explain full how to use the lightmeter, especially the Zone System scale.
Many thanks
Matthew
