Hi Brad,

Just a guess, not having seen the field of view:  were your subjects lit
against a mostly dark background?  If so, the 210 would have more "ambient
darkness" to compensate for.  You may find either the 210 subjects slightly
over-exposed, or the 300 subjects slightly under-exposed -- relative to the
same averaged meter reading.  Have no idea if that scenario fits the
conditions or your equipment.

Joel
