p.1 #9 · p.1 #9 · ALT lenses EV rules of thumb - stop down metering | |
It is very much camera-dependent, even when comparing two models of dSLR from the same manufacturer (Canon, in my case). I know this after owning countless fully manual lenses and using them on: 300D, 1D, 10D, 20D, 30D, XTi, T1i, and several 5D.
With my 5D bodies, I have a general rule of thumb that works most of the time, but chimping the histogram is still prudent. There are many things which can trick the metering system into a bad exposure, and stop-down metering just exacerbates these issues.
I do not, however, find this to be a "problem". I dial the EC that I expect I need and usually I am pretty close. The first shot confirms it and then I can tweak 1/3rd here and there if needed.
