Puzzling change to my standard light meter reference

[Chan Tran]

The Sekonic display 4.09 it really mean f/4.0 and 9/10 of a stop brighter. The first 2 digits are for the whole f stop i.e f/2.0, f/11, f/64.

the best std reference is the sun;always EV15(nice for sunny16)if a light meter differs from that,there is something wrong with he meter.the sun has been consistent for 4 billion years and promises to be just as consistent of another billion years;hard to beat

Somehow my sunny 16 is EV14.7 @Iso 100.
