Hello ! New here and ...

[marief]

I already have a question ...

Well, i've just got myself an Hasselblad 500cm (from a member of this forum ) and I would like to be able to use it today ...

But I don't have a light meter for the moment ... so I'm thinking of using the EV method ...

what do you think would be the right number for a cloudy sky and snow on the ground ? Yes ! it is snowing in France today, well in alsace anyway

And actualy, the sun is coming out now, so what would be the number for a sunny sky whith snow , may be EV 16 ?

Last thing , I only have a 400 iso film

Thanks for your answers ...
