I'm fascinated by this. I know *nothing* about this kind of setup. If
I understand correctly, you are trying to set up the response curves for
the camera correctly - so half bright *is* half bright, and so on.
Surely this isn't done by relying on the Mk1 eyeball?


You might as well say there's no need to control audio levels - just stick
up a mic and send it to line.

You tend to start off with a standard camera line up but then adjust it
for the actual light/lighting conditions. Of course if you had all the
time in the world you could light things to a fixed standard - or only
shoot in mid summer midday sunlight - but life ain't like that.
