I found this detail by shooting. Its not a big deal because i use the lcd histogram to fine tune the exposition.
But anyone has noticed this ?

Did you calibrate both of the Canons & ZD with the L-785DR using the calibration target and software?In the studio my RZ w/ ZD back matches up to my 758DR. My 1DsIII and 1DIII are both off by 2 stops from the meter. The 758 supports having two different configurations for camera oddness. But I think I'm just going to use the RZ in the studio and leave the 1Ds in it's bag.

No I haven't. I've been meaning to, but actually doing work gets in the way Once I figured I was two stops off I just dropped the ISO on the meter two stops. When I used the RZ for the first time in the studio I did not think about it and just went with the reading.Did you calibrate both of the Canons & ZD with the L-785DR using the calibration target and software?
I hear you about work getting in the way - real work is overrated IMHO.No I haven't.

Sounds like a thing for me to explore during the downtime of Christmas.I hear you about work getting in the way - real work is overrated IMHO.
Certainly the approach you're taking with the 785DR is a practical one but you're also using only a small portion of the meter's capabilities that you've paid for. As you no doubt know, if you calibrate it you'll have matching exposure base across all cameras and also dynamic range hints too based on your own actual camera bodies. I initially found the instructions pretty confusing but the video over at Sekonic's web site cleared things up significantly. I used the advanced target which only required bracketing 3 shots vs 11 - not a big deal in the overall scheme of things though.

Btw, I do think that at the price of this meter you shouldn't then have to buy a target to calibrate it. That kind of annoyed me, especially as it's not the type of thing your local dealer has in stock at time of purchase either so I had to wait another few days after buying mine before I could set it up.
