Richard,

According to that reading a -1 filter would require no change in exposure. I believe -1, -2, and -3 on the Rollei filters refer to stops. Carlos' exposure was about 4 and 1/2 stops extra for the filter.

Carlos,

Shouldn't a -3 compensation resulted in an exposure of 1/30 at f11?

Robert

The filter factor is a times exposure multiplication, so a factor of 2 means doubling the exposure i.e. half the shutter speed or one stop more iris. If the normal exposure is 1/100th at f/11 and the filter factor is 3 the filter exposure should be 1/30th at f/11 or 1/100 at about f/6.3. See my other post about whether you really want to increase exposure that much. Since most films will take relatively enormous overexposure it probably doesn't make much difference.
