Yep, even Kodak now tells you to meter off their grey card and then open up 1/2 stop. On the other hand, Galen Rowell's last column in Outdoor Photographer was a very interesting exploration of the great differences in metering between one camera and another example of the same make and model so there's no way of telling how close to ANSI standard any given light meter really is without testing the particluar unit you have. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
