Is TTL prism worth the money? First, congratulations, Brother Mike. Now, keep your eyes open for a hand grip. They are a required accessory for the 6x7. The full averaging meter on the 6x7 is perfectly accurate within some limitations that you need to be aware of. The meter is rather colour sensitive, and reads too high if you meter through an orange or red filter.. As a general rule for metering, if you are shooting negative film, point the camera down. If you are shooting reversal film, point the camera up. Brother William - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
