Middle Grey 18%

[Barney]

Is 18% middle grey the middle of the film latitude? (B&W)

Yes it's Zone V, it's used for calibration of all types, films, digital, colour & B&W.

Amazon 12"x12" £9.99 or another 30cm x30cm £19.93, seems metric ones are more expensive, despite being the same size

As i understand it’s the middle for reflected print media

Camera meters etc are calibrated off a luminance middle value of 12.9% ish

Theres so much literature on it but it sometimes feels like the old apsc aperture battles back in the day

Possibly smaller - 12 inches is 30.48cm - I wonder how close to 12" the merchandise actually is?
