Hello - I'm new to this list, so I feel that I should start by saying that I
prefer Dunkin' Donuts to Krispy Kreme, do not drive an SUV or own an elephant,
know virtually nothing about Colorado, do not care one way or the other about
the sexual preferences of my clergy or my cameras, and love (well made) bagels.
I do own an OM-G (I believe this is an OM-20 outside of the US). Its the only
camera I own and the only proper camera I've ever owned (Instamatics do not
count). Although I've been taking pictures for years, I've never done much to
technically stretch myself. So while the old girl is in the shop for a much
needed overhaul, I've been doing a lot of reading about night and low-light
photography. Which brings me to my novice question about pushing film. The
ASA setting on my camera only goes up to 1600. Am I correct that this is
irrelevant to taking pictures or exposing film? That this setting on the
camera only exists to send information to the light meter? So I could quite
conceivably use 1600 film and push it to 3200 and where the ASA dial is set
doesn't matter?
What I would need is an external light meter. Would anyone care to make
recommendations about reliable hand held light meters which will not cost me
one of the arms I need to hold the camera?
