ASA Question.

[Plain Nev]

Just a quick question. I've got a roll of film loaded in my Kodak Retinette, but I can't for the life of me remember what speed it is. It's either Image Pro 100 or Gold 200 ASA, and I'm erring towards the 100, but I can't be sure. I don't really want to open the back, so what would you gentlemen meter it at? In the meantime I'll be off banging my head against a brick wall.

Colour print film often prefers a bit more light than a bit less, so I'd shoot it at 100 Nev.

 

[Plain Nev]

Thank you. That would be my instinct too. Better safe than sorry.

Hah! I just realised ASA hasn't been around for a long time.

I still instinctively use it...

I guess you could expose at 150, at worst you'd be only half a stop out.
Colour neg has a very wide exposure latitude, it would be easy to recover in post as by then you'd know what the film speed was.
