Exposing 100D

[Pj]

Hi

This has been discussed in some manner but I don't understand. The camera that I am about to use says it can read;

Daylight film 25 and 100 and
Tungsten film 40 and 160

So I am assuming that if I use the 100D, the auto exposure will read the film correctly - Is this right?. The camera has a lower notch which is pressed with daylight film and removes the daylight filter.

Hi P,

Which camera please?

Sound's right, knowing the camera would help.

The camera is a very simple and basic model; the Porst Pocket Super 8. I can't find much information about it.

Thanks

Looking at that Porst on the super 8 data base http://www.super8data.com/ it does indeed indicate that it can use 100d. This camera requires 1.3 volt light meter batteries. Make sure you don't put in 1.5 volt Lithium ones that are the same size and battery number. Use Zinc-Air Wien Cells.
Porst didn't actually make cameras I don't believe. That one looks to me like it was made by AGFA. Anyone confirm that?
cheers,

Thanks. Oddly enough it seems that this camera uses a 6 volt battery for the exposure meter, it's about 1/2 the size of a normal AA batery. 6 Volts seem a bit excessive, but Ithey seem pretty easy to get.
