Just a warning for those with cameras which accept film speeds right across the board. I obtained two more carts of Wittnerchrome 100D, the best film I have ever used to date.
Its notching is slightly incorrect, apparently registering 64D/100T on a camera with all of the notch settings.
There are two solutions to this:
- Setting the filter switch/key to artificial light and expose at 100T in daylight (same speed)
- Using a stanley knife to re-notch it (quite easilly done).
Both methods will allow the cinematographer to have 100D correctly exposed while on auto exposure.
Note, on most cameras which are 40/160 cameras only, despite being incorrectly notched, Wittnerchrome will usually (but not always) miss the 25D/40T button and register correctly as 100D.
This is a wonderful stock which I would be very pleased to see Kodak release for themselves in Super 8 so it can be widely available.
I hope this advice ensures that everyone exposes it correctly and thus realises this film's true potential.
