Thanks all, your comments about "range" and "tones" make sense to me and sometimes I forget this.

As for the Photo Vision target I have one and I find it to be cumbersome and I have never really figured out how to use it effectively so it stays in a drawer. I do look at the DVD on occassion because it has some good posing tips as well.

As I said in my original post, I have gotten to the point when I can pretty much accurately guess what my camera is going to do in a given situation and I automatically take steps to adjust for this and so far although it is time consuming it is working and until I can figure out a better and more reliable way to deal with this I will stay with what I know works.
