Exactly. Some people treat it almost like a religious rite without really grokking what they do.care to elaborate? i've always used it in situations where i can measure light falling on objects in a scene. for landscapes with distant features, it seems less useful.

Even heard of someone pointing the dome towards the subject.
Incident can be fine for landscape if you have relatively homogeneous light and you are not in shade, or even the rare occasion where you are in more light than the rest.
Much faster and often more precise than spot metering various points.

So what is it that people do wrong exactly when they use an incident light meter.?
Thanks

People aim it from where they are standing to the subject rather then from the subject to the camera. Some have even state that they incident meter does not give them the proper reading when they aimed it straight up at the sky.
Thank you!Your shots are definitely moderated to not lose highlights. You keep a lot of detail in the Woods effected areas, but it is still clearly Woods effect, and look great.
I shoot Aviphot 200 (or Rollei 200/400/IR, they are all the same film) at ISO 3 with a Zomei 720. Works great so far!
3 seems very low for 200. Do you meter including the sky?
It is expired, and although it aged extremely well, it still lost about half a stop or so in 11 years. ISO 6 is fine, but I have found you can get more detailed images with ISO 3. On a sunny day, it’s still a pretty manageable speed, so I’m just gonna stick with it.
Interesting. 6 is too low for me too. But then mine is fresh. How’s the contrast? Have you compared it to fresh?
