Benefits of the Digisix: you can slide the incident cover off and it becomes an incident meter, and it meters in insanely dark situations. My expensive Sekonic can't even go as low as the Digisix.

^ 2nding this from experience, my sekonic gives up at like 2 EV whereas the digisix (I bought from ansel  ) goes down to like -2 or some ridiculous number

EV -2 at ISO 400 which would be EV 0 at 100, which seems like a reasonable number If you just pretend the meter is a well-exposed person in your scene, incident is the best

I try to eyeball the % of the incident diffuser that is in shade vs what is more filled to represent a similar % to that of which i'm seeing on the person I'm exposing, too like if they are looking towards the light and it feels like ~15% of their head is in shadow and the rest is "lit well", i'll try to meter at an angle with the incident diffuser that has a similar makeup of "in shadow" to "well filled"

Yeah, the incident meter is supposed to collect a combination of shadow/highlights that are hitting the dome like it's a face. Learning how to angle one thoughtfully is incredibly useful. Reflective metering is for chumps. Even on a photo without a person I try to imagine there's someone standing in the scene and I hold the meter accordingly.

Did you mean to scan this with the film upside down? - Got my Kiev-60 back from the shop! It still shutter caps, but in a different way than before. Interesting. (Good enough frame. Darkening on right side isn't too obvious in this instance.)  img722 by S M, on Flickr(Bad frame. Internal reflections, I think, and shutter capping)  I'm giving up on it. But what to do with this nice CZJ glass?

I might be in the market for some nice P6 glass. I had my Kiev 60 overhauled by Arax (I bought it from a flea market) and it's now a perfect camera. Cost me about $100 including a CLA on a severely fungus infested lens and postage back to me (in Europe). Gevorg at Arax is the shitcam whisperer. Dunno if that's an option that interests you after you've already thrown some money at it.

I mean... it was 100% intentional. I got as close to him as I could without being obvious, he looked up and cocked his head right before I took the picture.

Thanks, I don't actually remembered how I metered for it but it's portra 400 so I was probably standing in that open shade and held my incident meter out in front of me.

I have the CZJ 180 2.8, 802.8, 50 4, and a Pentacon 6 with a broken shutter. Should I just get a Kiev body? Or does anyone know of a good P6 repair guy?

No clue about the P6 but I've ordered three Kiev 60s, one each from the two biggest refurbishers (Hartblei and Arax), and one from a random ebay seller. None of them were capable of producing an evenly-exposed frame across the shutter speed range. I sent back the Arax and they fixed it. It had no shutter problem after that. But it tumbled onto concrete and the lens mount was warped. I took the good shutter assembly out of the damaged camera and put it into the body from eBay. But unfortunately it then began to display unevenly exposed frames again. If you want to get a Kiev 60, get one from Arax. Be ready to send it back though. I kind of have a hunch that their shutter repair service is just swapping in another shutter assembly and hoping it works better than the old one. I think they have a lot of new old stock from the arsenal factory so it makes sense. The Kievs from Arax have optional MLU, which you should go for if you get one. If you have some money and don't want to gently caress around, though, just order one of the 88's with metal shutter upgrade.
