Re: [OM] Light meter

[Chuck Norcutt]

It is my standard way of shooting using my Canon 5D which has an RGB 
histogram. It's very rare to discover that I have an apparently blown 
highlight that can't be recovered in raw processing.  I do sometimes get 
surprised by (usually) the red channel but not often.  If I suspect 
trouble I'll back off a bit.  The image preview also provides flashies 
to warn of blown highlights.

Shooting JPEG could be more of a problem but that would simply call for 
a bit more caution.
