It is either me or the lightmeter but I found it was way out and always under exposed images shot with its recommended settings. I have an L358 Sekonic lightmeter but never use it.

I think the best thing to do is to configure your L-558 to do full f-stops. If you look at the online manual (<a href="http://www.sekonic.com/products/doc.asp?ID=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.sekonic.com/products/doc.asp?ID=1</a>), on page 32, it tells you how to set it to full, 1/2, and 1/3. Give that a try and let us know if you have problems! BTW, good luck on joining PPA! Dennis,

Good article on meters. My question is, I shoot film. I have a Hasselblad 500cm. When I go to meter, and I get a reading of f/6.8 or f/10.2, this is good and all if you're using a digital camera, but for film, how would I read the meter (L-558)for a correct exposure. Do I change shutter speed until I get a correct f/8 or f/11. Or, do I use the light to get a correct f/8 or f/11. As everyone knows, that, on a Hasselblad, you're selecting full f stops or half stops, when you move the aperture ring. How do I resolve the problem. I just got my L-558. I want to become a certified photographer with PPA. I need to submit photos, to show my creativity. I want to make sure that I read the meter correctly. One more thing. Is there a easy way to calibrate my meter to get the correct exposure. Thank you for you're time. Hi Richard. Good article on meters. My question is, I shoot film. I have a Hasselblad 500cm.
