I'm happily using this Matte Box on both my Hd Cameras and my K3 http://www.indiesnap.com/catalog/index.php...p;products_id=5 This is it on my K3- LINK

Ian, thank you so much- I think this is one of those cases where the obvious was eluding me because it was right in front of me. Somewhere along the line I blurred the fps and shutter speed concepts (breaking them into different, rather than similar concepts). Your affirmation in addition to my old 35mm slr books helped me out of this! I really appreciate everyone's quick and helpful replies. I've been lurking here for a while but as I dedicate my time to film more often now- I will try to contribute to this invaluable resource! Thanks Again!

I think I might be understanding that I should skip entering 24fps and opt for 1/60 shutter speed instead? FPS and shutter speed are the same menu item on a 358- so by doing this no compensation is needed- correct? I'm using shutter speed rather than fps because i know the shutter speed at the given fps for the K3! Am I on the right track?

Thank you both for your help however I am still a bit confused. Please bear with me as I am coming over from a digital environment and am attempting to teach myself the basics of film. I should have mentioned that I understand the shutter speed at 24fps is 1/60 and the shuttle angle is set at 150 deg. The light meter however bases its calculations on a 180 deg shutter angle. What I am trying to figure out is the fraction of a stop that I need to subtract from the film's ISO to make the meter accurate with a 150 deg shutter? As the manual states its -1/3 stop down to 160 deg shutter angle. So I guess we are talking a little more than 1/3 to compensate down to 150 deg?? Or should I be plugging something different into the light meter??

I have just purchased a Sekonic L 358. In cine mode it is pre set for a 180deg shutter. The manual says to subtract a 1/3 stop from your iso for 160deg shutter. so iso 100 would be rated at 80 for a 160deg shutter. Since the K3 is 150deg where does that put us/me? What have you all done on your meters?? Any help would be great!
