Hi, sorry if these questions are old hat. I have been doing research but am slightly confused. I bought a nizo s800 and am trying out a vision 2 200T cart with it. I havent got it developed and telecined yet, but would like to test it accurately. -I understand that the 200T doesnt have a notch to allow my Nizos800 to use its internal 85 filter. -It also cant recognise films with speeds higher than 160ASA? am i right? -and this slight overexposing would be ok, except that there is no internal filter in place and therefore it will be read as 100ASA and too overexposed? does this mean i should cut a notch in my cart like i've seen on guides and the resulting 1/3rd over exposure would be ok? I dont have an external light meter btw. many thanks. i have read a few conflicting things on forums so hopefully someone can set it straight. steve

i am new to negative stock and pretty new to super 8 stuff. In the past ive just shot k40 on an old camera and not really cared. But, now ive bought a nizo s800 and am going to alaska, i want to get the best quality i can. I bought a roll of kodak vision 2 200T and am going to do a test. So from what ive gathered from this thread is that: - the nizo wont recognise the proper settings for the film. - the filter isnt able to be used with 200T or 500T, meaning if i shoot outside (which i will mostly be doing) the results will come out blue, unless i buy an external 85b filter? - if i use 200T in a nizo s800 and set the 'sun' setting on and shoot outside, even if the filter automatically is not used, will it 'take the stops down' (my photography terminology is terrible)
