As long as Tammy is using a #25 red filter, there is not much need 
for camera specific ASA settings; the variations are within the 
obligatory +1/0/-1 bracketing IMO, not to mention the personal 
preference for grainy(+) or contrasty(-) pic's.

Only the opaque filters and TTF+TTL require some brain cracking
ponderings about recalibrations

Allowing 'dumb' questions is specifically mentioned in the welcome 
message....<grin>
Besides, for every 'dumb' message asked, there are probably a dozen 
lurkers learning from the answers....;-))

Just keep asking!
