I use my istDS camera in manual mode most of the time. I use the LCD and histogram as my meter and shoot raw. Works good for me.

Consider getting and learning to use an incident meter. Minolta, Gossen, Pentax, Sekonic are usually considered the standards. I have a cheapy (relatively speaking) Shepherd Polaris and have found it to be quite accurate. It will do incident and reflected light as well as flash and multiple flash measurements. If you meter the highlights and shadows accurately to determine range of exposure you can shoot manual and adjust your exposure for highlights, shadows or somewhere in between. http://www.adorama.com/SBP.html -p On 8/28/2010 10:13 AM, Christine Aguila wrote: > I'm going to plung into this project for the next year.
