125 Iso

[lemos]

I am kind of ashamed of asking such a question, BUT:

What setting do you use on the Zeiss for 125 rated film? (FP4).


150 ISO -1 EV or something?



Thanks

You can use 100 and compensate.
I'am using 100 with no compensation as I always do on negatives exposing them at +1/3-2/3

I don't use weird iso settings.
I shoot FP4 125 as 100 or 200. Same for 160-rated films

Although I no longer have my 'loaner' ZI, I do have a ZI SW and I'm sure they're the same. There are 1/3 stop rests between 100 and 200, corresponding to 125 and 160.

The true ISO of the film will depend on the developer: an easy 160 in DD-X or Microphen, maybe only 80 in Perceptol.

As a general rule, generous exposure with conventional films (+1/3 to 2/3 stop) gives better tonality, at the expense of bigger grain and reduced sharpness. Exposure is always a compromise: here's a free piece on ISO speeds on my web-site.

😉😉I don't buy things when they have a weird price such as 10.96$ or even 5,657.72$. I either pay 5000$ or 6000$!😉😉

You are right. At first it looked like only 1 stop, but it is actually 2 :bang:



thanks 😀
