This is something ...Hi, Thanks for the experiment. This is something I've always wondered about and had no clue how to test it out. You did an excellent job.<br /><br />One comment though. You said the first column represents properly exposed ambient, right? (light meter at 0). The luminance value for that properly exposed ambiance (zone V?) is 146. Now look at the luminance value for TTL and TTL-BL. Anything above ambiance at -3 is overexposed if we take 146 as the properly exposed luminance value! (I have a sense that SB-800 overexposes a bit if the zero ambiance shot still clocked in at 169 and 150 with flash. But still 177 and above for the other settings must be read as overexposed.)<br /><br />Actually I'm not surprised. Your results are in line with my experience, although I have never done such an elaborate experiment myself.For Better Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793952805551391061noreply@blogger.com
