Agfa Movexoom 10 Cam Question
I realise that this camera won't expose the 64T film correctly. How can I get good results with this camera? What do I need to do? Is there a simple way to adjust exposure?

Just found the following by searching past posts:

The camera reads 64T as 40 ISO. Best thing to do is to re-notch the cart to 160 ISO, then use the "+" setting to open up one stop.
The camera is thus metering for 80 ISO- 1/3 of a stop underexposure. Barely noticable and may even increase saturation depending on the conditions. Put filter in outdoors- camera adjusts for filter factor- it's still only 1/3 stop under.
For 100D, just use the "+" setting (and make sure the filter is out) and it will also meter for 80 ISO- a barely noticable 1/3 over exposure.
My question is:for 100D you do nothing except putting the main control to + and ensure filter is out? Has anyone seen any results? Also, do we know how results are using the above method for 64T i.e. re-notching and using the + setting.

Hello Simon,
Recently I used one of Spectra's E100D carts with the Agfa Movexoom 10.
And indeed just selected the setting "artif. light" (filter out) and the + setting.
Got great results, nice colors, not overexposed, in contrary - it seemed a little underexposed. But obviously that can be the case with a camera with the respectable age of allmost 33 years... Could be that your Agfa exposes a little different from mine, that fact included. Nevertheless you have to mind overexposing in sunlight scenes though, because of the 100 ASA sensibility of this film.
The same cartridge I also used for testing with my Bolex 155 macrozoom (= auto setting). Again, superb bright colors and overall indeed a little brighter (1/3 stop I guess) compared with the exposure of the Agfa. Film developed by Dwayne's.
Haven't exposed Kodak 64 so far with any of these cameras.
Succes with your Agfa,
best - Paul

Re: Agfa Movexoom 10 Cam Question
The above post is from experience, not just theory. I can concur with the sentiment that 100D can even look under-exposed when it's meant to be 1/3 over exposed.
For added info, with 64T at 80T the film will be a tad grainy, but will not look unacceptably under-exposed (then again, "unacceptable" is a subjective term!). I would recommend it for use in bright sunlight for extreme saturation.
Aesthetically, I believe you will get nice results either way and with either film. There is a third option- Shoot 64T without using the + setting and just pull process (or re-notch to 160 and push process).
