Nikon F100 compansation problem

[amit_m]

Hi there,


Does anyone know about this problem ??:shock:

When the camera is set to manual meter and i try to compansate
For + or - view finder i shows the oposit side (for + it goes to the right and vice versa).

Is it make sence to use compensate with manual meter ??


Thanks
Amit

Its is showing you the amount of under/over exposure you have dialed in, but I dont see much use for exposure comp in manual I would just change shutter or aperture if needed (1 button vs. 2)

Now in program, aperture or shutter priority its just great to be able to tweak the setting with exposure comp (just dont forget to change it back when you move to a "normal" lighting situation)

BTW Great camera, my all time favorite

given a choice, would you switch to digital or hold on to the F100? and why?

I still have my trusty FM2. There's still a lot to be said for film.

My reasons may not be valid for you but if I could only have one camera it would be the F100 and a scanner (best of both worlds)

For me to get really good B&W prints I have to do it myself or send it out, with color I must send it out, so I figured if I have to wait and pay a little more anyway I might as well just use medium format and 120 film, I now use the D2h for most of my color (up to 11x16) and all action. A little less rez than a good 35mm film but having total control of the image from start to finish is very nice, and when I need max detail I will use the MF and some slow B&W films

I have a D2h and it continues to amaze me every day
