I like to use my light meter and work with footacndles. It's a good workflow for me and I determine the stop by zebras.
I know certain stops from experience. For example, 64 footcandles gives me a 2.8 with a couple of zebras at 70 on a medium reflective caucasian face. I have some night shoots coming up with not a lot of time to test and I'm thinking about going lower in light levels.
How much has anybodu underexposed with the HVX-200 and gotten good results? If any of you work like I do and can tell me in footcandles that would be great, for example I'd like to do some night exteriors at 30 footcandles and get some closeups with the lens at Z99, which is going to be a wide open 2.8
Just did some tests outside but it's 3:00 a.m. and I have to quit and didn't get to test on anybody's face.
Thanks!
