Re: Some basics Please (Part II)

["Gary" <misman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So would it be better to start off with a #25 red filter and then move on to
the #87? Also I can not set the ASA speed on my camera and for canister's of
film with no DX code it will default to ASA 100 so after looking at the
settings that you suggested (f/11 @ 1/60) I think that I'm going to have go a
bit slower maybe f/11 @ 1/30 or 1/15. Well I guess I will just have to try them
all and see which ones come out the best.

Thanks for your reply
Gary
