Is there an accurate list of super 8 cameras that can meter/expose E100D correctly. The super 8 wiki list, I believe, has errors. Kodak had a list at one time but I can not find the link. I am sure this has been discussed before on this forum but I can not find the reference. The Nikon cameras and the Canon 518SV seem to expose 100D correctly. Many cameras push the filter out but will expose 100D as 160 because they were made for the old 160 type 'G' film. Any comments?

There have been lists and all of them have errors. Including the one quoted by S8 Booster. This page has glaring errors.
Do you have a particular camera? Does it support 160 AND have a Filter Pin? Test it! Press filter pin! Does it close aperture by 2/3 stop? then 100D is exposed at 160. It does not close aperture? Then 100D is exposed correctly! Camera has no filter pin, only a filter switch on body of camera? Camera will always expose 100D at 160.
Know thy camera! ;) Continue from above! Does the camera that does NOT support 100D (see above) have support for 100T (via steps or slider or a series of ASA sensing pins (an example of such camera is Eumig Viennette 8 ) then shorten the 100D ASA notch of 100/160T into 64/100T notch and camera will expose 100D correctly. You remove filter of course!
Does the camera have +1 AND -1 correction in 1/2 or 1/3 stops? Ask no further! This camera will support 100D either directly or via using -1 side of Correction. Most Cosina cameras are an example.
Having said that:
http://www.super8data.com is a great resource with its camera section:
Check particular camera - Does camera support a range of ASA's beyond 64T (10 through 100T for example or 25 through 160) then you can be assured that camera supports 100D either directly (filter pin test above) OR indirectly via manipulating ASA notch by shortening 100/160 notch.
