Expose for the lights and factor reciprocity failure. But also I would use digital for low light.
>>4336081If you don’t have spot metering just compensate by -2 stops
>>4336081Expose for the lights, if you get a reading at 125th or above and you've got a lot of dark in your scene, bring it down to 1/30th or 1/60th to get more details thereSpeeds are for 50mm
>>4336081You? You don't my friend. Pros only ; )
>>4336081I use a small digital camera for metering and then apply the same EV on film.
