Also not to start another conflagration but we keep trying to tell you
that overexposure with negative film leads to loss of shadow detail.
Overexposure of slide film or digital images (both are positive) leads
to blown highlights. When using digital you have to be more cautious
about overexposure just as you have to be more cautious about
underexposure with negative film.
If you're consistently getting blown highlights with the E-3 why not
simply dial in a -1/3 or -2/3 exposure compensation. The camera also
has a histogram and flashing warnings about exposure problems if you'll
but use them. The E-3 is not the same as negative film and you need to
adapt to the different tool rather than complain about it.
