Hi Bill, If you are using available light to take and indoor picture, would you not than be limiting the amount of light reaching the film, or is that the intention. How does a camera meter then, does it meter diffrently if you are using a 28mm v/s a 200mm? I might be misunderstanding the concept though and these are 2 diffrent issues?
