Can the ASA setting be used to set exoposure in conjunction with with the exposure meter for yellow, orange, and red filters? If sowhat would those settings be?

Thanks,

I used to have my father’s Lynx 1000 until it died.. from memory you can set the ASA manually (look up the original manual for your Lynx 14 on cameramanuals.org or butkus to confirm that). If so, I’d use 1-stop lower ASA for Y, two stops for O and 3 stops for R filters. So if you’re using ASA400 film, that’s 200 ASA for yellow, 100 ASA for orange and 50ASA for red. This will increase the exposure enough to compensate for the loss of light transmitted through the filters. Freestyle have a good guide here.

Edited to update info and include links.

I forgot to add that the camera I use has a CDS meter (but not TTL), You are more knwledgable than I am so can uou desrbe for me the adjustment process necessary?

Many thanks,
Bill

Carefully read the post by lynnb. A ttl meter would automatically compensate the exposure since the filter would be in front of the lens (meter). Non ttl meters need compensation by decreasing the ISO value.
