Peter Thanks for your comments I agree, note that I did trust the PZ-1P multi-zone metering and bracketed 0.7. All my ~20 images in my opinion contain too much light in the sky, partly because of the muggy weather reflecting the city lights. Still, I didn't want to miss the opportunity A key learning is thus to do at least 1 series probably spot metering on a more neutral zone, and/or bracketing as you suggest
