I picked up a Sekonic L-308S-U light meter to get a more accurate exposure, as well as play around with key/fill ratios
Isn't this easier then guessing? It's like trying to read a book in a dark room and then turning on a light. I don't think its unusual for a meter to be off slightly, mine is just a tad under. Some of the more expensive models have a calibration feature, but I don't think the 308 does. I just automatically compensate in my head. I also use the 3 shot bracket method (over, on, under) to dial in the exposure, as it can also be a matter of preference.
In following your thread I can see the improvements as you learn and adjust. Very interesting to follow.
