Since we are not spotting and there is a dome we get an correct reading all the time. greetings, The light sensor would be inside a small white dome just like on a normal incident meter.

Red: Yep. Better auto focus a must. Tarjei: Light sensor in cap via USB... very interesting. I'm having trouble visualizing your idea, but am fascinated by it. Kurt: The arched-eyebrow! Totally. They should call that the photographer's wife eyebrow. Sometimes it seems like it is permanently locked in that position! Have fun with those new triggers. Thanks for the Nice comments.

It starts at a young age. I love new stuff. Right now I'm enthralled by new radio flash triggers due to arrive this week. Maybe it's the anticipation (I pre-ordered them weeks ago), maybe it's my imagination of the wacky lighting setups that I'll now be able to do, maybe it's simply gear lust. I also like stuff that the shine has worn off of. I can't use gear effectively if I'm still in awe of it, delighted by it, and afraid to break it. Since you mention your wife, I restrain myself by imagining my wife's arched-eyebrow, skeptical "Oh, really?" response when I explain how absolutely fabulous the new thing is going to be. She'll see when I got those radio triggers. When I was a kid and some other kid got something cool, we’d say, “Can I see it?” which really meant “Can I hold it?” It starts at a young age.

Jensen Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:01:46 +0000 http://www.nicephotomag.com/?p=259#comment-400 Agreed, but I also want an off camera light sensor. I want to have the sensor in my cap and connected via USB to the camera. I distrust bluetooth. Ethernet will also be fine. If I can't get that, I want back the spot button as it was on the T90. That plain works. Spot metering (locking) with the thumb at the back of the 30D is plain stupid. The thumb knocks the 100-400mm away from whatever I'm trying to spot meter. The T90 averaged several measurements. Up to seven if my memory serves me right. greetings, Agreed, but I also want an off camera light sensor.
