It's just a few days until I can use my Intrepid MK3 birthday present. I think I have an understanding of reciprocity failure and have been trying out theoretical exposure with the use of an app that compensates for this (I've been surprised to see how much this increases exposure time on Foma 400).
This has thrown up a couple of other exposure related questions:
1- will use of a yellow filter require any compensation adjustment? If so 1/3, 1/2 stop etc?
2. I'll be using a 135mm lens. When would a Bellows Extension Factor come into play? I've tried to research this but I don't really get this concept. If anyone has a straight forward explanation or link to this it would be very helpful. Thanks
Congratulations, I reckon you're about 8 weeks ahead of me
Yellow filter, as any filter with density, will require some exposure compensation. as to how much, i'm dredging my memory banks here from 30 years ago, but I think there are different strengths of yellow filter which will have different compensation values,. If I am correct then the value will be marked on the filter or its case somewhere, if I'm wrong, someone will correct me shortly
Bellows extension......I'll be watching for your answers with interest.
Which app are you using for reciprocity failure calculation?
