satya_rodrigo Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 <p>So I finally got my Hasselblad 503 cx (now named Elsa, my new 26 yo Swedish love) and some Film Backs and the Hasselblad 100 Polaroid Instant Film Back. <br> <img src="http://i65.tinypic.com/30wxtti.jpg" alt="" /><br> (Elsa with Cecilia camera strap with B&W film inside).<br> I am trying the Fujifilm FP-3000B Black & White. Waiting to take photos!<br> Sorry if dumb question- but what ISO setting do I use on the camera for the FP-3000B? Camera only goes up to to 1000. </p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Ingold Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 <p>The 503cx does not have automatic exposure. The ISO setting on the camera body is for use with a dedicated flash unit. Depending on which flash unit you use, set the exposure compensation to -1.5 stops. The dial on the back itself is only a reminder for which film is loaded, and does not control anything. You will have to experiment to find the best exposure with any film.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_dickinson Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 ..... And buy a light meter, or practice sunny 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 <p>The ISO "setting" on the camera is only a reminder of what film is loaded. The camera has no built-in light meter so it doesn't matter what you set the dial to. 1/125th @ f/8 and be there!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_dickinson Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Rodeo, actually the ISO setting on the camera is for the ttl flash. It does have an effect, but only on flash exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satya_rodrigo Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 <p>Thanks for info, folks.<br> I actually have original manual too. My light meter has been lost in the mail. (Found an old Gosser Pilot meter thats on way in mail to replace an analog sekonic). So been practicing sunny 16 and experimenting. Have been shooting at ISO setting of 1000 on camera for the black and white. The color film should be easier as its ISO 100. Have seen posts of some that use the exposure up or down depending on how they shoot for the instant film.<br> I have been used to shooting wide open on 35mm and Digital film cameras- now getting used to stopping down on the medium format. I must say- its very nice to shoot through the square viewinder :) Very different from live view and through an electronic VF. Just wish I could get a larger use of the film than the square crop- but its different. <br> Anyone use the flash on the 503? One seller selling the Hassy flash kit at a good price. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_dickinson Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I use d40's and metz's (with sca390). TTL flash exposure works great on my 503cx and 553elx. Although I need to set the ISO dial 3 stops fast when using a digital back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
