hey /p/Isnt it possible to use a digital dslr to meter for a MF TLR camera? I mean if you set the focal length and aperture the same.Or would it be miles out?
Worked fine for until I picked up a meter for the MF I use.
Focal length is irrelevant to exposure unless you're dealing with bellows factor, which you aren't.It'll work quite well.
>>286158however, angle of view is relevant.
>>286161This is where you use the longest lens you have to meter and treat it like a shitty spotmeter.
You could just be a man about it, pull up your socks and manually meter it
>>286164Or... You use any lens and your camera's spotmeter.
Yes. That's how I meter with my Yashica, in fact, when I'm not balls-to-the-wall Sunny 16ing it.
I've noticed slight differences. Usually a stop or two.
Use your SLR to meter. Bracket one stop either way. Take notes. Develop film. Compare notes to develop film.
>>286294I suppose "shitty" in my post should've gone before "camera" and not "spotmeter"
>>286161No. To exposure?How the fuck do you figure?
>>286922Suppose your film body has a normal but your dSLR has a wide. The scene has a bright window which is out of view of the normal lens but included in the wide and your dSLR uses evaluative metering and compensates for that bright window.
>>286947Exactly, which is why you should use the longest lens possible on your "meter", or switch it to spot metering if available.
