Some cameras have a device in the film chamber that disengages the filter when a daylight film is loaded. This is separate from the sensor that reads the film speed. It is activated by a different notch on the cartridge. There are only two settings, filter in or out. With the D6, you have to use ...

If I'm thinking this through right, going by the cover on the inside , disengaging the filter would bring the film down from 160 to 250, thus underexposing.

Since, I assume by following this , it is notched as 160D, 250T, and as retracting the filter with 64T brought it from 40D to 64T, it'll do ...

I composed an email to Wittner and got a response back. And yes, Ektachrome 100D was being read as 160 which is why when using 100D with the D6, it had to be overexposed by increasing by 2/3rds-1 stop and using the meter lock.

Anyway, I emailed them and in their response I was told that the 200D ...

I also have this camera, and hope you get some informative replies. I tried the Wittner UN54 cartridge in it, with filter retracted, and it was under exposed. I am told it is notched 100D, so the same as your Ektachrome. I think it must read that as 160 ASA. I hope someone knows the answer!

As I go and get my last Ektachrome 100D developed, I have a few questions which I hope can be answered here!

Now as many here may know, the Minolta Autopak-8 D6 didn't meter Ektachrome 100D correctly and it had to be increased by 2/3-1 stop in order to get it to expose correctly (after manually ...
