shay_ohayon Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Hi All, After trying to read some film specification, I realized I know very little about the technical part of them.I have quite a mess in my mind...Help is much needed! :) - How do I determine if a film is "low contrast" or "high contrast" ?- Low contrast means I would have more exposure latitude ? How can I read this from the charts ?- How does all of this fit to the "Zone System" theory ? Does it mean high contrast films have less zones ?- Does low ISO means high resolving power ? - what is MTF Curve ?- how do I read "Density/Expsure" charts ? what does density mean, and how does it connect to "resolution" ? Thanks, Shay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_drew4 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 The answers you seek are scattered about and/or will fill you with even more confusion, or you can find the book, "Advanced Photography" by Michael Langford. Nearly every question is answered with really good and scientific explanations. There are other good books as well, but Langford is a professor and delivers what you seek! The "Basic Photography" edition by Langford is also a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
