Hi Fellow Zuiks!
Does anyone else have this problem...
Having set the film speed to, say, 100 ASA, you take a frame, then take
subsequent frames with + 1, then + 2 stops compensation. You then look at
the ASA indicator and it now reads 400 ASA - or anything other than 100
ASA!! So the frames you gave extra compensation to have been negated and
actually under exposed! Yes, I know I should check, which I did for some
night photography last Saturday, but on Sunday, I was on a tidal river bed
photographing a bridge and got carried away (not literally, of course!) by
watching out for the slippery/sinking sands. When I packed my gear away
back on dry land I noticed the error. I walked away muttering, "complete
idiot", " total waste of time", "check, check and double check!" etc. I'll
eventually learn.
Re 'kazuya matsumoto's Japanese prices' - I know we have to convert to £GBP
then add a 17.5% tax, but are we getting shafted in the UK on retail prices
or what?
