<p>I am totally new to film photography which is why I have a little question about my <strong>Agfa Silette </strong>(not an Isolette!).<br>
I have to set the film type/speed on the rewind knob. The film types marked on that knob are: 17°, 21°, 25°, CN, etc.. But I put a roll of 200 ISO in it, which would be 24° as I understood it?<br>
Someone advised me to put it on 21°, because the camera hasn't been used in 50 years and this "film type disc" might not be that sensitive anymore. Or should I put it on 25°? Or somewhere between 21 and 25? It is a <strong>Silette Pronto with Color Apotar 45mm lens</strong>, if it would matter. Thanks on advance!<br>
