Cinevia Notch Size

Post by mortron »

Hey all,

I just opened a cartridge of Cinevia V50D and I am a bit confused as to why its speed notch is the size it is.
This film is daylight stock so naturally the cartridge has no filter notch. As it has no filter notch though surely
it should have a 64T/40D sized notch instead, rather than the 40T/25D notch that it has. I can see why they
would go for the 40T/25D notch, as it can be used in all cameras this way, but surely it should have a filter notch, right?
As it stands the camera will read the film as 25 D. It would make more sense if there was a filter notch so that it would
be read as 40T, or am I missing something here?

Cheers,
Josh
