Re: 'Sunny-16' exposure table

Sunny-16 rule:  Set the shutter speed at 1/ASA and the aperture at f16.
This is a good setting for a sunny day.  In your case, using ASA 100 film,
set 1/100 and f16 on a sunny day.  If it is not sunny, open the aperture
accordingly.

Yes, modern light meters have 1/125 speed indication and not 1/100 as the
Realist does.  However, the 1/100 in the Realist might not be exactly
1/100.  Some testing is in order.  I use 1/100 when the meter reads 
1/125 because I don't think that 1/4 of an f-stop will make a difference.
