The title just about sums it up. I was out running a roll of Velvia through a bargin F3 I got from KEH to make sure it worked. I was using incident metering from about two hours before sunset up to sunset and it was below zero F. All the 135 F3 (new-fangled electronic shutter) shots were spot on while the two 4x5 Velvia films look like they were overexposed by about one stop. I was using a 150mm Nikkor-W f5.6 in a Copal 0 shutter. The shutter was set at 1/4 sec and f32-that combination doesn't seem to fall in line with the sunny f16 rule even though the sun was very low. The thing is all the F3 slides look great and I used the same metering method for both cameras. Any ideas?
