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.Robert
Well, I think you are right. Rollei evidently uses a different system from Kodak and most other filter manufacturers. A filter requiring a three stop increase in exposure would be very dense. By Kodak terms it would be a filter factor of 8, which is very high for a general purpose filter.
