I was just at the camera store where we bought a camera for my wife.  A $130
camera cost us $450 by the time she got through with all the extras that
were "on sale."
Anyhoo ................... I got to hold the Nikon D80 with flash and all,

My wife wants a new film 35mm camera.
The digitals are getting better but the pictures from ink jet printers
etc still aren't as good as film and they won't last but a couple of few
decades. Storing them on cds won't last either including the new blue rays.

Is there a formula I can use to use a lux meter reading to figure out
fstops OR shutter speed? If there is please give me a link or web page
I can read up on.
Or do I have the wrong type of meter entirely?
