Yet interestingly he has changed his method of determining this. In the
first book of his I got it was "set to sunny 16". Make the meter read sunny
16 and scale from there. Later on he changed to do a test strip an pick the
tonality you prefer. Different things.
Ironically, my OM-1n generally reads sunny 16 (sometimes not, but that's
probably operator error) and I'm happy shooting at the films ASA.
Regarding the variationin his bodies, I wonder what batteries he was using?
