Re: This is not a boxing ring....Overexposure question

[simonwide <simonwide@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

dear skip-
at an early time in my panoramic career which i had cyclopan p.o.s model
which worked inconsistently with six hasselblad lenses i thought that I
had it resolved.; this'd be '72-'73. i knew that hasselblad had announced
a lens with meter controlled (ap.) exposure meter atop.before i'd try to
ot light the sun outdoors i'd consider patching a over/under pair of transparencies.since
i only know cyclopan, cirama, and hulcherama i will speak about hulcherama
which is based on shortcomings of first named two. daylight: slowest film
you could buy in 120 was 50asa and on e4 stock the inner guide told you
truer, tested speed...so we have 40asa, ok...sometimes. hulcherama has
slow turn speeds for low light....BUT...YOU CAN EVEN THINGS OUT WITH A
HAND HELD ND  GEL FOR INTO SUN PART OF THE PAN...THE SLOWER THE ROTATION
BETTER TO MATCH CAMERA'S TURN. THIS HAS BEEN REFINED BY SIMON IN LATER
USAGE. stock model cyclopan too fast..simon nathan
