Hi Tom,
I figure the issue is not how to interpret these data, but how can I make a
laser test out of it <G>.
It does sort of spur me to do those tests we all should do anyway: setting
up a shot with neutral (Zone V) values plus gray card and shooting brackets
using the ASA dial. Do this with slide film and then apply analogously for
the print films with similar values.
Trouble is I'm happy with Provia at 100, Reala at 100, etc. It's really a
nuisance when I'm happy. I just shoot and no important testing gets done ;-)
