NEED HELP FAST!!!!!!

[henryberkins]

hey everyone,

 

just heading out in a couple minutes to shoot some landscapes while the light

is good.

 

i intend to use my newly aquired hasselblad 1600F and i havent got a

lightmeter yet.

 

i plan on using my D50 as a lightmeter but im shooting iso 100 film and the

minimum iso on the camera is 200.

 

how would i convert shutter speeds?

 

any help would be appreciated.

 

thanks

 

chris

Set both cameras to same aperture. Use 100 film in the Hassy and ISO 200 on the Nikon. Set the Hassy shutter speed to HALF the shutter speed the Nikon recommends... one full stop slower.

 

For example: If the Nikon suggests shooting at 1/60 using ISO 200, you want 1/30 second at ISO 100 on the Hassy. If the Nikon recommends 1/500 second, set the hASSY FOR 1/250 second.

 

Do be mindful of the metering setup in the Nikon, so you understand what it is evaluating, and be mindful of whether both cameras really are "seeing" the same scene.

 

Be well,

ISO 100 is exactly one f/stop slower than ISO 200

 

Open up one stop over what meter reads: if it reads f/8 shoot at f/5.6.

There's no need to perform mental arithmetic in the field if you set exposure compensation on the D50. Set the D50 to 200ISO and +1 EV, and it will give you appropriate values for 100ISO..
