Thanks, I do intend to do some tests as I mentioned before. I don't
like it when white sweaters have blown highlights in the bright sun.
But that exposure was done according to my Sekonic L-358 and I think the
trouble was the Sekonic was set to ISO 100 instead of ISO 125 as I
normally have it set based on DPReview's test. But, yes, I need to do
my own tests with external meter.
