It's widely thought that the Nimslo's auto-exposure is a little under for
outdoor shooting.  I had been using Kodachrome 200 prior to this, and by
pushing the ProviaF 100 was trying to get the same result with less grain.
Is 160 the proper setting for a manual camera or light meter when pushing
100 speed film one stop?  How about two stops?  Jim Harp
