q.g._de_bakker Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 <p>With polarizers, it is best to set the (fixed) factor that should be printed on the rim of the filter, and not meter through it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryszmont Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 <p>With NDx8 in not possible to compensate (I have only +2 on the compensation ring )<br> best George</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 <p>You can use the ISO-setting to compensate.</p> <p>Set to a 3 stops slower film to compensate for the 8x ND filter. Meter. And then put the filter on.</p> <p>But it would be easier to just meter through the ND filter. ;-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
