Also, there are different exposure methodologies. If you are shooting
to JPEG, then you want to expose for the final image, and if you lose
all detail in the highlights or the shadows, well there's only so much
you can fit into 8 bits. If you're shooting raw, then you generally
want to "expose to the right", in order to preserve the highlights, and
then process for the final image in post processing. This is
particularly true on ISO invariant cameras such as the K-1, K-3, K-5 ...
Of course! I only shoot jpeg so in a sense I'm starting from a
disadvantage - but actually it teaches me to be more specific with
exposure. That said, RAW would extricate my butt from a lagoon of
hazardous evil quite nicely....
When I lost access to a darkroom and had to take my film to someone else
to process, I stopped doing serious photography, I see no reason to
trade the corner drugstore for a $10 computer chip and go back to those
days.
