Have to test with film...

I can't think of a reason that it would not work with film... okay a specific film / camera setup, but if you have one favorite film, body, lens... why not. --and you don't have to have a Sekonic meter to run the analysis... the DTS can be down loaded from the Sekonic site and if you have one of the supported color targets... that's all that's needed to create the graph. With film here is the scanning factor, but still... you would see the end results of a specific workflow (maybe a bit scanner centric).

When I was doing some research on this, I exchanged some tips & techniques with a professional photographer... he was very positive (read: as in being useful) about the value of seeing the clipping points on the meter. BTW, he is mostly known for his landscapes rather than studio work.

I would love to run the analysis on a digital M or even the M-Monochrom... but first I need to finish with the Canon 5DII and then a quick test with a film camera / scanner, just for fun.

Exposure Profiles... just getting started

By: cshimokita : June 21st, 2015-18:42

We all use some method to determine the appropriate exposure when taking photographs, for the most part the choice is a camera internal light meter or maybe an external handheld light meter... for the few (and I know who you are) that estimate the light v...

I had no idea this was possible.

I mean analyzing the performance of a specific camera and transferring that information to an external meter. Very cool. I bet product or studio photographers would get a lot of use out of this tech. I think it's good to dive into the technical stuff once...

Fascinating Lightmeter

By: DonWishnow ( Wish) : June 23rd, 2015-20:52

I asked a few people about their meters and most use 1 Deg. spot meters like Spectra Cine, Gossen Mavo spot 2usb and one said he wants a Sekonic C700R. I think the software has to be really cool for this meter, Guess I will have to Update from my Weston M...

Sekonic C-700R SPECTROMASTER

The C-700R is a full-spectrum color meter, the "R" model adds wireless triggering (country specific frequency) for your flash and camera. The C-700 (use your own wireless triggers) list price is Yen 183,600, street price Yen 165,040 - 10% = Yen 148,536 ( ...

Only kidding around about the C700R, he can't afford it

Cannon make one heck of a camera, I remember when they first came out with the EOS, heck I still have the coffee cup that change when something Hot is pored in, it change from plain camera to camera with flash. I am sure the camera can read between flicke...

5DS and 5DSR

By: cshimokita : June 24th, 2015-05:53

the only difference that I have read about is the sensor filter is removed with the "R" version... I have not seen the camera in person... Just realized that there is a lot of relatively new stuff out there... Hope you had a good rest... Casey

OKCasey, will have to do research, not buying, just interested nt. [nt]
