I have no problem with his assertion that his images are always perfectly exposed. He uses modern equipment that is well calibrated and I expect he knows how to meter a scene to take advantage of the metering technology that he uses. All he is saying is that he is able to meter a scene to within 1/3 of a stop.
REPLY: Your last sentence hit the spot. I pointed out days ago that whatever mistakes I do is MY fault, not the film, the camera, the processing whatever. My images are always exposed the way I wanted them to be within 1/3s. I'm claiming I want to able to meter and set exposure within 1/3s. I'm able to get exposure I want within 1/3s regardless of that exposure might be. I want to be able to set the exposure for, say, the grass over there at + 1/3 and I can do that precisely and consistently. Being able to assign tonalities in the field is a question about experience. The meter and camera is never wrong. Pål
