How do you meter this stuff when you get to 1600 or 3200...? Seems like the
meter is only going to work down to a certain actual level of darkness, no
matter where you set the ISO. Then if you're in a room that's darker than
that, all you get is a guess.
While the OM-2 will do a 2-minute-plus exposure when shooting with
'normal-speed' films, will it still do a 2-minute exposure at a level of
darkness that would require 2 minutes for 3200? That would be 5 stops less
light than a 100-speed film... its going to be pretty dim. Where does the
meter cut off on the low side in absolute light-level terms?
I'm in the dark about this, hoping for enlightenment... <g>
