I'm not an expert like you.
We are now in violent agreement. No one is born an expert in anything. Experts are made by study and work. And by implementing critical thinking, listening to others who are experts themselves and peer reviewed. Testing and work. This is something some cannot do; easier to struggle and ask then do.
I make mistakes, unlike you
Rubbish. A really stupid statement without a lick of proof or knowledge or critical thinking either. It's why I and others don't take you seriously and even thoughtful and helpful people like Bill may sour on your rubbish.

In any case, having just taken up 4x5 film photography, I have to up my game regarding exposure.
Yes, you believe without schooling, that 4 x5 (chrome, neg; major difference) has to be treated differently than digital in terms of LEARNING to expose optimally. Yet all the URL's that show how this is done were ignored. This is your idea ignoring how to learn:
If someone else can answer my question without forcing me to read nine treatises on Raw measurements and RAW digger, I'd appreciate it.
And now you say:
It would be nice if you were a little more accommodating
Read, learn, study what has been provided. THEN ask questions based on the materials.
Show a little patience.
My patience with your inability to learn and study the material provided disappeared awhile ago. If some of us can take the time to learn this stuff, then take the time to write articles and make video's for free, you can at least make an effort to VIEW them and attempt to LEARN from them. But alas, that's not been your history here. And so, I have no more patience with your inability to study the materials provided.
