A few weeks back I was out shooting on a nice sunny, quite hazy morning. So I get the end of my roll and expose the 25th right in the sky for the fun of it, but to my disapointment when it came back from the dev store that last exposure came out almost fully daz...! I know I know, using the sunny61 rule I could made sure it was the sky came out blue and not white but I wanted to see how well the inbuilt light meter would cope...this might not suggest a problem, but would many reflected light meters suffer a similar fate?

Equiptment:
Pentax MZ-6 (meter detects 0 ~ 21 EV)
Sigma 70-300mm
Hama UV filter ( don't laugh)

well its not really that much disappointment seeing that it woulda just been blue anyways! I have had shots missed because I forgot to adjust the shutter speed back to my usual default setting (1/125)
