Light Meter

I absolutely love Maxwell's real-world camera approach. But adjusting the ISO Film speed, f-stop, and exposure time is utter guesswork. You have to just pick some numbers, and sit through render after render to adjust your settings.

With enough real-world experience in photography, you can start with pretty accurate guesses, but I'd love to see some sort of real-time light meter in the camera info window, to avoid wasting time in render tests.

you can simply adjust iso and other stuff directly in the new beta during rendertime (look at the param next the previsualisation), it is taken into account after the next iteration. And it works fine! i've tested it wit success.

As ISO does not influence image parameters (fstop and shutter speed both do), it should be easy to set ISO in the step the MXI is converted to the images, and this way you can have your "Auto" meter after rendering.

In the same step stuff like vignetting could be corrected.
