For everyone who's useing a camera without automatic film threading (lever-operated SLR an RF): Always put in the film end FIRST into the wind-up spool and then insert the cartridge into it's place - it's much more easy this way round and saves your film from to much pre-exposure. This was the way the pro's handeled it for decades, while every camera manufacturer kept to teach it wrong within their manuals...

@cmduplain 4 жыл бұрын

Honestly if you just look up strobe tutorials online you can apply the same principles to film by accounting for its speed. When im shooting quickly and dont have time to calculate I typically just fire a few test flashes and gauge it with a light meter which never fails :D

@bfs5113 4 жыл бұрын

1) with flash meter (~ using an incident meter): Assuming you are in a position to use a meter, then set the meter to measure flash with remote triggering. Set the meter to the ISO (and flash sync shutter speed, for some meters) you are using. From the subject location with the meter facing the camera, press the measure button and trigger the flash to get a reading. 2) without a flash meter: Aperture = Guide Number (GN) for the ISO your are using/distance. The most difficult part is estimating the distance if the subject is far away. For example, the Metz 45 CT-4 has a GN of 148' at ISO 100, hence 148 (GN)/26 feet = f/5.6. Some flashes have a scale to look up the value. Note that one can use factional power (if available) to vary the power of a manual flash. Also, factional power reduces recycling time.

also on the "filter hack" you can also get those systems that use a very large square filter that are all the same size, and there's different rings for different sized lenses. They store easily as well because they're literally just a flat square with no ring... you can fit 10 filters into a little holder with not much of a footprint.
