Hi everyone, I hope you can help.
I've just taken delivery of my latest ebay purchase - a Minolta
Spotmeter F - and I'm trying to get my head around how to go about
testing for personal film speed.
The meter has a 'shadow' function which would be really useful, but the
instructions show that it is calibrated for slide film use and is only 1
stop below the 'average' that it reports for use on the camera.
I was considering using this function anyway by metering from my target,
pressing the 'shadow' button and using the resultant reading. in that
way, when I test the negative density, I will still get the right EI for
using the 'sahdow' function.
Am I on the right track or have I missed something??
Thanks
Paul
By the way - I lost track of this list years ago and I'm very glad to
see that it's still around.
