Jim, let me rephrase the question.... "What is the intensity of the light being reflected from the metered surface in lumens?" - I believe that there should be a correlation - my guess is that it should look something like: A*T/F^2 = K*ln(I) where A is the rated speed from the lightmeter (ASA) T is the shutter speed (Time that the shutter is open) F is the F stop - A being set on the meter, T and F being read from the meter. K would be some constant, and I the refelected light intensity in linear units such as lumens. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
