Hi Matt
You're right to assume the metering will be affected. Meters sees things differently to the human eye, consequently where the screen makes a visible improvement of between 2 and 4 stops the meter will only see up to one f stop difference. In some cases no change will occur. A simple comparison reading (using a neutral toned subject, such as a wall) with the original screen in place and then the Intenscreen will give you an indication of the necessary adjustment. You can then set this permanently on either the camera's compensation dial or film speed dial.

Hope that helps

Kind regards

Pete
