This is a wonderfull jewel ! It is a calculator that actually takes all that is important for average conditions photography and put it in a playfull and funny way. You start always at the same point with the dial and then, in that order, you dial according to: 1- Your subject: well lit indoors, far landscapes, buildings, groups etc 2- Sky conditions: open sun, overcasted, etc 3- Film Sensibility 4- Month and hour. That is it. You can read the pairs speed and apperture now. I find ingenious to introduce the month and hour to get the light conditions. Of course it works only in a certain latitude (for France this one ?) but it is really nice. After ringing and ringing it stops on the right spot ! |
