I work similarly to Douglas, treating the A900 exactly like I used to do with chrome film, spot metering the highlights and overexposing by 2 1/2 stops. But mostly taking an incident light reading of the scene puts everything in place. I never get burned highlights except in contre-jour situations. Sunny 16 resulted in underexposure in most cases, even in film days. Btw, I found the camera meter to be very consistent and accurate, compared to my hand-held meter set on reflected light. Perhaps the meter overexposes slightly by just 2/10 of a stop. Nevertheless, reflected light readings often result in underexposure as they require a lot of interpretation, and they are hardly ever usable as they are, unless the subject is a flat middle grey. That's why most pros relied on incident readings in the past.
