I have a related question – when shooting log and using a 1deg spot meter what ‘f-stop’ do you aim for in resolvable dark and resolvable bright (and skin tone) when shooting log?! I guess a grey card in each area but I want to use something like Adams 10 zone system to make sure every area on set is exposed the way I want as DP – do you switch meter to EV or just try to limit the range of stops between gray card in the dark area and grey card in the bright area? some in camera log (fuji flog2 on xH2 for example) are ‘impossible’ to overexpose or in case of flog impossible to underexpose – the histogram is literally lifted and capped so there is never 0 black or ‘100’ white.
