At which ISO does Canon 1014 E/XL-S rate cartridges.

[Niels kakelveld]

I've got a Canon 1014 Electronic and XL-S and would like to know how they rate the various super 8 stocks around. From what I have read some stocks that are out now there is no official S8 notch , like 200t/250D/500T

I am a bit confused on which rating it would select. On both camera's I always shoot with the red filter removed either by screwing in a screw or a switch. Does this change the rating and make it more or less off?

 

The stocks that I use are:

V3 50D

Ektachrome 100D

V3 200t

V3 250D wound by Pro8mm

V3 500T

 

Then I know how I may compensate for the wrong rating either by setting a manual aperture or using the comp dail on the XL-S

Hi!

Simply use this ruler: http://www.peaceman.de/blog/index.php/super-8-notch-ruler-new-and-improved

(BTW: The Vision3 50D is notched as 40D and the 200T as 160T. The difference is very, very small and negative filmstocks don’t mind a little over-exposure. And the Ektachrome 100D is notched as 100D. So, there’s nothing to worry about when using the camera’s autoexposure with these three filmstocks - as long as you are using a fully working camera that „knows“ 40D, 160T and 100D. But that’s what you need the ruler for. Not sure about the other filmstocks.)

 

Hope this helps
