	not *really* meaning to come off as an "anti-techno" on this
	inconsistency of metering via myriad in-camera meters - but :

	try just shooting some HIE as described in the inserted literature

	- nice bright day w/ puffy clouds and sun behind you (some time
	     other than high-noon)

	- w/ a #25red shoot at f11 @1/125th for scenics
	- w/ a #87ir  give another stop exposure  ( @1/60th )
	- w/ a #87c   give another 2+ stops       ( @1/30th to 1/15th )
