Autoexposure Follies? (was Re: Nikon Data Backs

[pico <pico@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All this talk about the difficulty of using a modern, highly advanced camera
for IR seems to indicate that it's simply not a good choice, and perhaps a
totally manual, nonelectric, simple camera would be best. Perhaps an old
Nikon F, Leica M, Olympus, Koni-Omega 6x7, etc...

This _assumes_ that integrated meters cannot really be set properly for IR
work. In my experience, using a spot-meter and accustomed to the Zone
system, IR exposures under diverse conditions requires a great deal of human
judgement, and final exposures are all over the place. Can a modern camera
be set to autoexpose properly? Really?

very best, and no disrespect intended to current technology!
