Daniel Stanford Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 My camera says it recognizes up to 400 speed tungsten film, but I would like to use Kodak Vision2 500T. My question is, If I use the 500 speed film, how will the meter react to it? Would I be able to accurately compensate without having to buy a seperate light meter?

Many people talk about rating 500 ASA as 320 ASA (the 2/3 of a stop overexposure is considered a good thing). So if your camera thinks it's 400 ASA, that's probably fine.

Anthony Schilling Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 The 500T has no filter notch, so your camera will most likely read it as 250ASA, exposing 1 stop over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is probably still fine anyways. Will all cameras allow for the daylight filter to be inserted or are there some cameras that will override the manual indoor/outdoor filter switch?
