Hi there,
just bought a Yashica Mat 124G.
The owner said the light meter is broken. I don't have a problem with metering myself but I'm not sure how.
Portra 160 and/or 400 is what I'm planning to shoot exclusively with it, no slides or black and white.
I always carry my D7000. Is it a bad idea to meter the scene with the D7000 then take a shot with it and add if needed 1-2 stops to the exposure to get good shadow detail?
Or a light meter app?
I also have a Zeiss ikon Ikophot S from my pops as well, not sure if it's accurate and I don't know how to use it to get a good shadow reading.
Whats the best way to meter with what I got? The D7000 method seems the best and most accurate to me.
I don't want to buy a incident light meter.
Thanks in advance
Michael
