Nizo Professional + Kodak Ektachrome 100D

Post by john59 »

So Im planning to shoot a cart of 100D tomorrow with this camera, the forcast is very sunny but very cold here in England. I take it I can just insert the cart and shoot at sunny 16?

Camera and film stock work great together: I used a Nizo Professional and E100D outdoors a couple of years ago on my trip to Amsterdam and the footage was great, with no worry about iris override etc. Yet, if it's so bright there, you may want to bring a 2x ND filter, just in case. But do not forget you can half the exposure time on this camera with the orange lever (iris will open uo by 1- stop automatically in order to compensate). So you shouldn't have any problems even in bright sunlight.

Enjoy!

I've got another suggestion for you which won't be logical but won't make you sorry. Keep grass or any kind of green vegitation out of the picture as much as possible! Incase you didn't already know this film amplifies colors. It doesn't make sense but it will be tiring and make you sick to look at grass greener than what it actually was for more than a couple minutes. On the other hand, looking at man made things like green cars is actually very enjoyable with this film. Winter is a very good time to use this film because of less green vegitation .
