Is this cheating?

Using my digital SLR as a light meter? Then shoot with my film SLR to get the right exposed shot?


that I can have the black & white shot and a personal shot for smugmug

Since i cannot afford UWA nor Full frame DSLR i was thinking to purchase cheap film SLR so i can use my 17-40 for UWA shots.

And i was thinking similar technique for exposures and i thought it will be Innovation in process.... to me only thing that matters is the "Photo".

isn't this akin to shooting a polaroid proof shots .......it is not cheating, your using one cam as a meter and view instantly (polaroid) and the other for true recording......chimp away...............:D:D:D

Thank you very much everyone, Now I don't feel guilty for doing it anymore.

And now I will be here for about 1 to 2 hours uploading and posting some shots I did with the digital ( these are the same shots I did for black & white ).
