P3D exposure without a meter

[Jeremy Illingworth <jeremyillingworth@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is for Dana, who is going to Greece (me too).

I use a light meter, but when I used to buy Kodak b&w film (now I bulk
roll) there was a little chart on the inside of the box that told me
how to expose for sunny, light clouds, heavy clouds, etc.  The camera
itself if capable of taking any speed film, although with the 200th of
a second max (on my Revere anyway), 400 is the fastest I usually use,
because if its sunny out, then f22 @ 200th is a quick as I can get.  I
have shot 25, 000 ASA (very grainy) in my Revere, but that's got to be
in very dark places.  Some cameras have exposure charts on the bottom
of the camera, and they are for 10 asa film (high speed at the time)
you can just calculate the difference in stops in your head (or make
your own little chart using their's as a reference.  Hope this helps.

Jeremy
