Adam Wallensten Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hello! I'm going to travel for a couple of weeks with my 16mm film camera (K-3). My problem is that I don't have a lightmeter of my own, so my plan is to use my digital 35mm SLR camera as a lightmeter (it's a Canon 20D). Has anyone any experience with this? Can I rely on the exposure on the LCD screen or not? And last, the SLR cam's ISO numbers are fixed to 100, 200, 400, etc. if I'm shooting using a filmstock of ISO 64 will it differ much from the cameras ISO 100 setting etc? Hope you understand this last question, maybe it came out a bit confusing. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks Adam Wallensten Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Laurent Andrieux Posted January 13, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted January 13, 2006 If you set the exposure time to 1/60 and sensitivity to 100 ISO, just open up your K3's lens 1/3 or 1/2 a stop more and it should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
