Hi, Have a nice FZ150 LUMIX not doing much these days. Would it take a CamFi please? It has a USB port. If not, which dslr's would take a CamFi adapter for remote pc shooting? Many thanks!

Hi Keith, Thanks, I ordered several MRB625 WeinCell 1.35V batteries, will update. Ric

No worries Keith. Just found (and sorted) a Bolex-Gossen light meter, I did not know these existed. Battery on the way. This should make my cine metering a dream compared to using the Gossen stills meter I have, which is excellent but was not designed for motion cameras. https://farm8.static.flickr.com/7510/15713337084_b6584215d1_b.jpg Ric

Thanks James, I'm sorted then! ;) Ric

Thanks to all. Light meters are a problem, my cameras don't have them. I have a Gossen Profisix which is excellent but the fps reading is microscopic near the centre of the dial. I am trying to find better light meters for cine film. The Bolex guide (p.59-60) says that a 16fps project which wants to shoot at 64fps should open the lens "two full stops, so that the film receives the same exposure", so I was correct in relating the darkening of my film to the increase of camera speed. That seems the simplest option for me then, to meter as normal but remember the x2 f.stops for slow motion?

Thanks. Odd, when I filmed a lit fairground carousel at night, then upped the speed on the Bolex, that section of the film - now in slow motion - came out darker than it did on the camera using my normal speed setting. Why was that please? Why was the film darker if each frame was receiving the same amount of exposure? The aperture remained constant, wide open, because I was filming fairground lights at night - so the aperture was wide open all the while, whatever film transport speed I chose.

Hi, If I shoot ASA 100 film at about 16fps, then increase the speed to 32fps, that should halve the light hitting each frame. So that would be the equivalent of filming with ASA 50 at 16 fps? If I double the speed again to 64fps that would be like filming ASA 25 at 16fps? So if I want accurate meter readings for my slow motion footage on ASA 100 film I need to set the film speed from my normal 16 up to 64fps, then set my meter at ASA 25. Is this correct please, nearly correct, or way out? Thanks, Ric
