I sent this message over 24hrs ago but have yet to see it return from

This can only be done with a reflective meter, a spot meter being the
type best suited to targeting discrete parts of a scene.

Seems that you tested the filter factor from essentially neutral

on equipment calibration and personal preference) is the result of an
