So I want to learn to sensorially quantify light.

I will keep as much as possible ISO 100, aperture 2.8, and I will manually adjust exposure until all light makes sense as a difference to ISO 100+ ap. 2.8. But your senses need a fixed point in everything, so, I ask the light masters, which exposure number would be God's exposure? Similar to ISO 100 being the flatbed of sensitivity and aperture 0 being the lens fully open.

I guess that you could calculate some cosmical constant to light, from which to derive that x light is the most truthful, and that at ISO 100 and aperture 2.8, when you meet that light, you should definitely apply a certain exposure. But what do I know...

I have a Sony a77 with the 16-50 2.8.

Well that would be no exposure at all.  The shutter would remain closed.  After all, wouldn't the light come from within?
