hi there, looking for some advice for shooting on Kodak vision2 500t on a Nizo 801 Macro. Reading around the forums I find various bits of advice but am wondering if anyone can provide clarity on a few issue (and hopefully end up with all this information in one place). I've never shot on this newer film before, only Ektachrome and Tri-X so... I gather that the camera will not correctly read the Vision2 cartridges. because the maximum they can read is 160asa and vision2 is 500asa. I'm going to be using an external light meter (A Zeiss Ikon Ikophot). Have I got it right here that I need to clip off the cartridge notch and set the ASA on the light meter to 160 (and not 500), then adjust my exposure settings on the camera from the light meter reading? do i need the 'bulb' setting on the camera turned on? any offers of clarity on this issue would be appreciated.
