[LRFlex] Indication on the packs


Andy.

Recently, I looked into a Kodak pack. It was giving values for exposure and I asked my photog who was using those informations.

He related me his army days when he was the official photog of an officer. Mostly B&W and with a SRT Minolta that had no light cell.
He said that after a while he was pretty good in evaluating the light. Of course he was printing on paper by himself.

Myself, I never tried. Too lazy probably. But evaluating the light is a good concept to interprate the returned value of the light cell.

Regards.

Okay let's really age ourselves. Who remembers when "The Great Yellow Father" used to package the film data sheet with each roll of film. On the sheet we could find all sorts of nifty info including an exposure guide that went from overcast to sunny and the suggested shutter speed and F-stops. As I recall when I was working with my Agfa 35 (scale focusing, No light meter,) I did get pretty decent exposure ( even with K-25) and good pictures.

It's a frightening thought at first but with negative film it's entirely
manageable. Last spring I used a battered SL with no meter for some family
snaps at the county fair, using ISO 400 (or for us old farts, that's ASA
400) color neg film. I cheated once in an indoor pavilion but otherwise it
was all guesstimated exposure based on Sunny 16. Everything was printable!!
There were some that were not optimum but they were all printable.
