I've loaded the P67 with Velvia 100F and plan to take some shots over the weekend. I'm still in the learning stage with the camera and metering prism.
I've been googling exposure systems, etc and it seems a modified zone system should work pretty well. Basically, it seems the advice is that slide film has a range of about zone 3 to zone 7. Therefore, if I spot meter with my *istDL on a spot in the scene that I want to set as the lightest tone with detail, it will give an exposure setting for zone 5 (mid grey). I should therefore increase that by 3 stops (two stops to reach zone 7 and one more to account for the DL being iso 200 and the film being iso 100) and that should put the metered part of the scene into zone 7. Then, providing the scene doesn't also have shadows too deep for the film to handle, I should get a good exposure. Am I on the right track?
