Beppe asked yesterday how to calculate the exposure using some EV compensation like in a real camera. So I wrote a small Lua script graph. In case somebody finds it useful, you can get it here:
Again, just import the package and connect it with the exposure pin of the camera imager node:
Happy rendering,

Very useful indeed. Thank you a lot for providing this option!
Since I am used to EV steps from photography fine tuning the exposure that way is very conveniant.

Side note:
Since some people miss the old school exposure settings for reasons that are totally beyond me,
Update/Edit:
I tried an explanation but removed it again to save you a long read that will just end up adding more confusion.
The short version may be:
Three slider yielded the illusion of more subtle control.

In any way the EV compensation script now offers a very useful way to finetune scenes.
Selecting "brigher" or "darker" to fine tune the brightness further in the needed direction is a much more intuitive option than trying random combinations of three sliders that in hindsight all seemed to be doing the same thing.
