What you don't get that this is not about definition of expousre but getting the exposure you want with precision and consistency. It is about photography. I assign part of the scene to the tonalities I want on the film and nail it within 1/3 of a stop. >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.

It somehow doens't surprise me that your definition of correct exposure is whatever the camera gives you. That explains why nailing exposure within 1/3s seems alien to you. My definition is the exposure I want before I press the shutter release. Thasts the difference beteen a snapshooter and a photographer. Pål
