Tom Law Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hello, Does anyone know whether or not the 'Braun Nizo s560' will be able to handle/understand the new Kodak Vision3 500T film stock? Thank you all! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Carlile Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 If you slide the filter switch to bulb, it will read the film at ASA 160-- a little too overexposed. If you want auto exposure you're better off with V200 in that camera, in which case you can slide the filter switch either way. V500T is speed-notched for ASA 400D/250T, and is supplied in a notchless cartridge to set cameras at ASA 250, which is one-stop overexposed-- but this is per Kodak's recommendations-- they do it this way on purpose. As these Nizos only read up to ASA 160D/100T, they won't go that high. Many cameras have this problem with ASA 500 films. Even cutting a notch in the cartridge will only allow the ASA 160 maximum. Of course, 500T will work fine in any 160 camera that has manual exposure override-- just open up the aperture a stop or so for each metered reading.
