Aileen M Taylor Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 What is the stop loss when using Antique Suede 3? I cannot seem to find that information on Tiffen or Formatt's sites. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chris Keth Posted July 31, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted July 31, 2009 Why don't you just meter through it and find out that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Google is your friend- first hit on 'antique suede 3 factor'. 2 stops. http://www.videodirect.com/Merchant2/merch...ode=FORM138CLEF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Borowski Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'd still meter through the filter to be sure. What if yours is old or faded? I DEFINITELY wouldn't trust Wikipedia or a website of dubious origins. There is no "number check" remember. Even Kodak datasheets on filters I've seen typos on, so be sure to double-check. . .

Joe Taylor Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Definitely meter the filter. I put my filters on an SLR to check exposure compensation. I have three sets of Antique Suedes. Two of my #3's rate at 2-stops and another at 1 2/3's stops. I have a set of Chocolates that rate the same way. There can be a visible difference sometimes.

Tom Jensen Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The best thing to do is shoot tests to make sure the finished product is what you want. You may not want to compensate the light loss completely. With color filtration, it's about "the look." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aileen M Taylor Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 That's true, thanks guys. I guess they're all a bit different. When I metered through this one it was only 1 1/2 stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
