I've done it about ten times but you don't get it. You never do. Perfect exposure is the exposure I want. I want to go to a scene I decide how I want it exposed and then get it coinsistently when the film get back. This I have in common witn every serious shooter, professional and amateur alike. Thats all exposure is about. There are no universal perfect exposure but if the photographer is going to be something else than a snapshooter he must be able to nail the exposure HE WANTS, regardless what exposure that may be, consistently with precision.

If you still don't see why this ain't a decent definition, then let me give you a cave example. I define that "the exposure that I want" is the exposure that a disposable camera that I will buy will give me when I press the shutter release. I buy it, shoot it and it will obviously perform according to what I defined, with 100% consistency and precision.
cheers, caveman
