Metering when using reversal films

[667]

I would like to learn from your experience with reversal films when using the Bessa III. In terms of metering, did you find the aperture priority auto mode sufficiently adequate or some adjustment was needed ? And, what is your favorite reversal film with the Bessa III ? Many thanks

I've only shot about 5 or 6 rolls of E6 in my GF670, but the metering & AE seem to be accurate enough. As w/any "dumb" AE, some adjustments are necessary when shooting any non-standard scenes.

Haven't really settled on a current favorite slide film, period (loved Kodachrome for 35mm). If I do, I'm sure it will work w/all of my cameras, not just the GF670.

The meter and aperture priority mode are almost magically good on the Bessa III. I've taken shots on all types of film with aperture priority mode and had great results. That said, I will go full manual on really difficult lighting scenarios.
