This is good, very good. What I was hoping for and we are getting is good
"peer review" of claims and counterclaims.
Thanks for the complements on the photograph itself. I had envisioned it and
hoped that the film would do what I thought it would do and it (the Provia,
at least) didn't disappoint.
I want to address the metering bit:
The scene was so dark that NOTHING was giving me usable meter readings. (I
needed a flashlight just to see where my camera was at, much less adjust
it). I had to manually expose the E-1 for the proof shots. The meter
sensitivity in modern cameras is not too shabby, but still within maybe an
EV or two of what I had available--probably less and possibly worse. Hmm.
Let's see. The OM-4T(i) is able to OTF to -5 EV, and spotmeter to -7 EV.
(ISO 100, 50/1.4). I'm not sure, but I think the 5D's meter range is +1 EV
on the low end (at some unspecified iso/lens). Could one of you look this
up?
So, if it is true that the OM-4T(i) is good for auto-exposure down to -5 EV,
what digital cameras meet or exceed this?
This is strictly a converstation about metering and/or auto-exposure, not
the imaging system itself. It matters not what ISO you are shooting at,
this is a metering question.
