A meter math question
for two reflective meter, one was calibrated on 12% and another was
calibrated on 25%, so how much stops of difference will appear on their readings? one or log_2(2)? thanks. |

How the refletiveness rate is defined ?. i think the refletiveness of n% means n units of light will be reflected back when it received 100 units of light. am i right? so i think your answer for my question is 'one stop', are you? |

Hi Steven, I don't really answered your question because I added a new question. Maybe what you say it's true, but I can't assure that reflectivennes (I don't know if this is a right word, sorry) be a linear unit. If it was a linear unit, so 25%:12% is a 2:1 ratio. If the relationship is not linear then we can not assure this statement and then we can not say that there is one stop of difference. Cheers. |

Using the 12% meter, you'll gain a little shadow, very, very little. Using the 25% meter, you'll gain a little more highlite detail and lose a little shadow. That's if every thing else is equal, which it probably isn't. Bob Hickey |

oups.com... for two reflective meter, one was calibrated on 12% and another was calibrated on 25%, so how much stops of difference will appear on their readings? one or log_2(2)? log_2(2) = 1, so your two alternatives are equivalent. The answer to your question is yes. |
