Re: Need EIR advice

>> What speed do you rate it at?

>EI200.  During the summer a bit faster.

In the summer I rate at 320asa.  The rest of the time 200asa.  But it's
still best to bracket due to the film's high contrast. (say two thirds of a
stop each way).

>> What filter(s) brings out what kind of effects?

>#8 or #12 filter.

I actually find that the effect I want is best achieved with a #15 filter
(slightly darker yellow than the #12).  To my eye the photo's with a #12 are
still a little on the cold side.  I have also had nice effects with some
coloured grads, and they can also help reduce the overall contrast between
the sky and foreground which helps.  I have had nice rich emerald green
sky's (clouds still white) !

>> Loading and unloading film...do you need complete darkness, like HIE?

>No.

Ignore the message on the film tub.  But don't load in full strong sunlight,
or leave the film out of the tub for to long as you will get a bit of pink
streaking over the first part of the slides.  (But as I usual I ignore what
Kodak say about anything!)
