Thanks! Where is the EXIF data saved?

Didn't mean to imply that silver film wouldn't do well with overexposure -- just noting that for C-41 films, it's better to overexpose than to underexpose. For example, I always rate XP2 Super at (at most) ISO 320 to get a smoother looking result.

Right click -> Properties -> Details tab
At least in Windows.
I believe all digital cameras have EXIF data, which can be quite handy. Kind of like those film cameras that printed the exposure settings in the rebate.

I often expose for ISO200, Ari, when I use XP2. Some say it is best to set things for ISO400.

When I right click on the posted pic, I do not see "properties". My images in the RFF gallery show exposure data for digital images.
I have this data:

I meant the file on your computer.

Of course, you are right about it. I have never before checked this out!
The iPhone photo shows F 2.2/ 1/30/ISO 50.
Why is it ISO 50? This cannot be correct.
The Summilux/M9 data shows:
2.4/1/500/ISO 500.
The iPhone photo shows F 2.2/ 1/30/ISO 50.

Why not? Sounds about right.

I thought it strange to choose a low ISO setting for indoor photos. The M9 chose ISO 500.

I think phones default to a low ISO (assuming it's a hand-holdable shutter speed) since they get really noisy at what would be a fairly normal ISO on a large-sensor cameras.

[insert pithy phrase here]
I thought the M9 image was shutter speed 1/350th. No matter, the iPhone and M9 exposure info work out about right to me. I do think ISO 400, 1/60, f/4 will suffice provided the light is similar on your next visit. Of course the light might be quite different and you'll need to adjust. A meter is a must!
As for tripods. In a situation like this, I might bring a small light tabletop tripod with me, but hope for handheld all the way. I'm very reluctant to bring the big tripod anywhere, but I have a copy of the Leitz tabletop that really becomes useful at times.

60th @ f4 is about right indoors with 400 iso film. Judging by the size of the window, you may even get away with 125th, if you stay near the window, but I'd keep to a 60th just to make sure (overexposure by a stop is better than under). With the wide angle you'll have adequate depth of field even at f4. Soft light falling on the face from the window, interesting subject, should be a great shot! Good luck.

I saw 1/350 in the RFF gallery, which may be wrong. The image file shows 1/500. I am tempted by taking a very light and small tripod with me to save the day without using a flash.

I will ask Noam to stand beside the window. This should solve the problem of low loght indoors.

What is it with these academics, they never can be bothered with purchasing a sizeable bookcase... 😛

When we moved into a new building a few years ago, I insisted that the builders add book shelves! It seems that engineering departments did not ask for shelves in the offices [only in their labs], whereas my department has faculty that read books! There are three fully filled book shelves (floor to ceiling) in my small office, Johan.

I'm shocked that nobody mentioned Cinestill 800T.
It seems exactly what you need
- can be rated at 500, 800, or pushed in artificial indoor or outdoor florescent light.
-can be filter corrected for daylight and rated at 400 or 500 to soften the intensity and skin tones in daylight and mixed light sources.
The Flickr Cinestill pool is a good place to study 800T use in all these environments.

If you're really worried about film damage going through airports, Raid, you could always buy and get it processed at wherever you're going. But then time constraints might not make that feasible.

Thanks for the tip. I have never heard of this film before. I will check it out.
It may be available only for 35mm cameras. I want 120 film.

I used to do this many years ago as I would travel and shoot many rolls of slide film. Now, my trips are very short as I need to be home with my family. My children want me back soon if I have such a trip.
