This looks like a good tool for film as well as digital shooters—exposure latitude warnings would be useful no matter what—but it also causes me to ask why the hell this is necessary to begin with. It’s great that this tool fills a void, but why the hell can’t camera manufacturers make ISO 100 actually ISO 100 to begin with? The S in ISO stands for Standards, and I think that calling something a standard and not adhering to it is false advertising. Camera makers, sort yourselves out!

I have the 508 with the radio trigger for Pocket Wizards, and I am very happy with this. It’s a real nice thing to have :-)
