It's more of a "sunny 10" rule. Set the shutter speed to 10 times the ASA of your film for bright sun. One stop (speed) less for cloudy bright, etc. For Copex...
I meant to ask in the prior email: What effect does the ND filter have? Does its use equate to f22 -- or higher? Dale ... [Non-text portions of this message...
Many thanks Jack and CT. I've had really good luck with the "Sunny 16" rule in non-metered cameras -- so I'm hoping to get some results with the Minox "Sunny...
... Sunny 16 doesn't care about the camera. You just need to compensate for the fixed aperture, which I count as 4 2/3 stop faster than the iconic f/16. That...
u doing your own or sending to a lab? own? microdol X gives good results with delta 100-- what film you using? many on the list can describe vastly more exotic...
as to the neutral density filter -- on a B, if the meter is working, the meter is automatically adjusted when you slide the ND in front of the lens so you...
A trip to our local Dollar Tree store netted me an 8 pack of Sunbeam AG13 alkaline batteries for a buck. 4 of them fit in the EC nicely. They provide 6 volts...
CT: Even though I have a Minox developing tank, etc. I just can't get in the mood to process film, so I'll probably send it to someone. I noticed in Sub...
Charles: Thanks for the exposure tips. I have never used a ND filter although they seem to be pretty common in Submini photography. I'd like to buy a ...
Actually there was a bit of astring on this some months back. You might check in the files section of the group site as I did draft up a version that I use to...
Good advice. But instead of figuring it out each time, do it once, with the aid of a meter if necessary. Then write the exposures on a small mailing label and...
Sunny 16 must be the most confusing simplification in photograpy. As Donald points out, the correct "Sunny" rule for the Minox B would be one over 22 times the...
I have a flash unit that I bought at a thrift store for .39 and can not find anythibg on it. It is a Soligor, it has an exposure chart, a tab that say's AC....
... I'd suggest, instead of gambling on eBay for selenium meters, buy one from KEH.com. First thing, KEH "BGN" (bargain) grade is like eBay "Mint-minus", and...
Donald: I have looked at KEH from time to time and they seem to be generally well thought of by most people. At your suggestion, I looked tonight and they do ...
How frustrating! I always wanted a Minolta Zoom 110, had one given to me. Fired it three times and it jammed. Tried taking the batteries in and out, moving...
... Mike Have you tried NEW batteries? The shutter is electronically controlled, so any low power from the batteries may result in an incomplete exposure. Try...
Mike which Minolta 110zom is it the "Mark I" o r the Mark II? I seem to remember the Mark I's viewfinder blacks out by design under some set of circumstances...
Mike: I just go t out out a Minolta 110 SLR Mark I and if I take the batteries out the shutter locks up if the time knob is set to A. Move the time knob to X...
Hello All, New member. I am wondering if you can forgo the reversal process and just dev. this type of film as as you would negative film? If yes which type of...
... Yes, both Kodak cine reversal stocks can be processed as negatives, though you'll expect to see a loss of 2/3 to 1 stop of speed, based on my experience...
... Forgot to suggest developers -- my own preference is for developers I mix myself, with Parodinal (a Rodinal work-alike made from acetaminophen, lye, and...
Hi Donald, Thanks for the answer. I was wondering where one gets Double-X film?? I also guess that i could use tri-x neg. film and split the film to the right...
... Double-X Negative is available from the same sources as Tri-X Reversal -- it's a 16 mm cine stock, and you can get it from short ends dealers or direct...
Hello All, Just got my first sub and now someone has another. Minox B, looks to be in great shape and he wants $35 which includes shipping. Good deal? What if...
you can find plans to make a slitter or find one to buy. I think Goathill still sells a basic slitter for minimal cost, there are others on ebay. I found a...
$35 including shipping is a great deal if it is working correctly. If the shutter is not working, it will need a CLA (clean, lube and adjust) which will cost...
If the shutter works, it's a great deal even if the meter is dead. The meter is a selenium type, does not use a battery. Quite likely to be off or dead by...
... Eastman Kodak actually, although some dealers also keep it in stock. The 100 ft rolls are popular with film students so they can be ordered one roll at a...
