Thanks, but I've seen some of the calculators. However, I think you answered the question I had... EV is determined 'after the shot', correct?
I've seen so many post here that they took a photo with "2 EV" for example, and have been assuming that they set the lighting at that value prior to shooting, when it appears that EV is taken from analyzing the parameters of photo data, or at least calculated by looking at the basic settings the camera decides to set with it's built in light meter. IOW, I could dial up or down my lighting and look at the parameters the camera calculates for correct exposure (ISO, shutter, aperture & ev), plug them into one of the programs some of you suggested here and I would have an EV number, is that right?
Again, sorry for off topic, I see you are all dealing with a very important and possibly frustrating issue. I hope this gets sorted out soon for all of you. I really want a k5 but have to decide if this issue isn't fixed, is it going to affect my type or style of shooting to the extent that using the camera would result in a negative experience for me.
