Joshua Echevarria Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hey been reading a bit but cant seem to get an answer for this question. I'm trying to figure out one thing when shooting with 500T film on the 1014XLS. I understand that the camera will read this as 400ISO which is fine but if I am using an 85B on the lens what do I set the internal filter switch to? Do I leave it on tungsten? Can't seem to get an answer for this. Any insight would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Dunn Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I don't know the camera model, but either switch will remove the filter. If the 500T cartridge is notched below the gate as it should be, you will need to use the external switch anyway. If not you won't need to.

The D setting adds one to correct the tungsten film for outdoor use. It's this way, and not the opposite, because it's better to slow down tungsten film when taking it outdoors than to slow down daylight film when taking it inside.
