Light meter app

[Gary R. Smith]

Your experience may be different, though.

I wouldn't describe myself as a nervous wreck - apprehensive maybe. I have actually done this before, albeit with Kodak chemistry. I'll be using the Cinestill Df96 monobath and of course, I'll be doing it for the first time in a "new" space. I'm more nervous that I didn't get the M3 loaded correctly since the last roll out of the Barnack was blank...

Hopefully luck won’t come into, but I hope it is good if it does!

Well, it seems that despite loading both Leicas just fine for my first rolls, both of the last 2 rolls weren't loaded correctly. In any case, I've now been through the development process again and I know that works... just that a roll not loaded into the camera won't yield anything useful. Maybe I'll shoot the next roll through the QL Canon FTb.

I am interested to hear how you get on with the lightmeter app. I have an android phone and there are a number of lightmeter apps, but....having used the same app on 3 different phones (Samsung, Xiaomi and Nokia 7+) and each gave vastly different readings, i have doubts. Having had that experience I doubt the veracity of lightmeter apps on phones - at least of the Android persuasion. I'll stick with my trusty Gossen Mastersix when using a camera without metering (or in a pinch I'll use my Hanimex PR-45 from 1966, which, surprisingly, is still accurate!)

Hi Bill, I've given up on trying to handle both a phone and camera at the same time hence the move to the shoe-mount meter (which I find to be much easy to deal with).
