Hello,
Since I decided to pick up analog photography again, I did some research on the sunny f/16 rule and existing-light photography. I have a few questions if you don't mind:
1.) This thread: http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00H1rS talks about the exposure guide on the back of a Rolleiflex (2.8 D if I'm not mistaken). Beside the 1 stop difference (due to changed filmspeeds?) is this table still right? (as in the adjustments for length of shade etc.)
I found the manual where the table is explained here: http://www.butkus.org/chinon/rollei/rolleiflex_28d/rolleiflex_28d.htm
2.) There is a table in Kodak's Existing-Light Photography book (1996 edition) that gives settings for a lot of situations. On Kodak's website http://www.kodak.com/cluster/global/en/consumer/products/techInfo/ac61/ the table is reproduced, but there are some differences. Is this a mistake or has Kodak updated the table (due to feedback?)
3.) Any good tips for me to use when starting to photograph without metering the light?
Thank you,
martijn
