Hello all,
Could I pick your brains please?
I've just been out at night taking long exposures around the business park I work at, I think the shortest shutter speed I did was 5 seconds. I wasn't sure of the exposures so obviously I bracketed every one. I'd read on here of people metering with a DSLR and just transfering the exposure settings onto the film camera from the SLR's reading.
What I want to know is - how accurate can I expect the settings to be? Is 10" at f5.6 and 100 ISO on my Canon G10 going to be accurately transferrable to my OM2? I mean, where do Canon get their ISO's from on a digital camera?
I guess I'll have to wait to see the slides (Ektachrome 100) to find out for sure, but what do you think - will I have taken a load of plop or d'you think these shots might be useable?
