I've just picked up a orange Cokin A 002 filter which is 1 2/3 stops, and the iso I was given for it was 400, so should I meter medium gray as 125 or as 320?

Hoya 58mm Orange G (HMC) Multi-Coated Glass Filter for Black & White Film

thats the filter in particular

 

also the correction might be 1 1/3rd and I've just read it wrong

Hey, I've never really posted on forums before, so excuse me if this is in the wrong place. I've got a roll of Aerochrome that ive been waiting to shoot for quite a while now, sat in my freezer, and I'm still unsure if my filter can handle it. I did research looking into the results I liked and what colour filter was used and I landed on the orange. My question is, will my Hoya Orange G filter be enough for use with this film, or do I need a darker orange? When reading, many people stated that their orange filter was a 2 stop difference, whereas mine only seems to be a 1/3rd stop. Thanks

Thanks for the help guys. I've shot some expired ektarchrome 100 from 2006 which i liked, and exposing it at 50 asa gave quite nice results. I dont really mind colour casts and they can look quite interesting if you're lucky

 

Also, if I was to say, shoot it at box speed and then increase development, might that give better results that over exposure? I dont expect perfect results as it is obviously not going to be as good as fresh, but I'd like to do as much as I can to be as efficient as possible with it

So I've just purchased about 7 different rolls of ektachrome in medium format, ektachrome 400 (2 box styles) ektachrome 160t and EPN 100D in 220 format.

 

The rolls of ekt 400 are in boxes (though their original owner scratched the dates off, you can still see the date started in 19 on the older packet) and the other two were just in their film packets, and I was wondering if anyone would be able to identify the approximate expirey dates and give me any tips on how to compensate for their age properly. I've read that some people cross process in c41, however I exclusively want slides

 

 

Thanks
