By using white spots in a pattern, the meter will not see specular highlights
(most of them anyway) and use them in calculating an exposure. An example
would be a bush with shiny leaves or city lights at night. If you can ignore
some of the brightest highlights, your overall average exposure will be more
accurate.

Subject: LX Curtains Mistery (at least for me)
Hi, gang.
I was thinking the other day (yes, sometimes I do) about the pattern in the
LX front curtain. It's supposed to give a reflectance of a middle gray,
right? Then, why to use white and black points pattern instead of a regular
uniform gray paint?
If somebody has the answer, I'm all ears (in this case, all eyes)
Regards
Albano
