Foma 100 filming in 90 degrees of heat?

Re: Foma 100 filming in 90 degrees of heat?
Have you developed this film yet? Are you developing yourself or at a lab? If you've overexposed by a stop then get it pulled one stop in developing. Or you could process it as a negative, Kodak reversal stocks lose a stop when cross processed. However, I've never personally worked with this stock but that would be my advice with Tri-X.

Thanks. No, the film's still in the can. I'm still having problems with asa100 film. Doubled the filtering, metering the film at asa25 but because I am now filming at 16-17fps (for transfer) it means more light hits the emulsion than I'm used to (at 24fps) which is pushing me back up into the f16 extreme of the aperture. I'm going to have to triple the filtering to give me more latitude - in good light. Mind you, that might have to wait till 2015 now.
Two 16mm films to process now: Foma 100 + 7285 Ektachrome (one down - one to go - last one!)

Correction Re: Foma 100 filming in 90 degrees
Correction: no, the film's still on the Krasnogorsk. I have moved and need to organise darkroom conditions to get the film off the camera(s) and onto the Lomo loading spirals. Am using a grow-tent to get some lightproof dark - so far so good, long as I don't suffocate or emerge with weeds growing out my ears :mrgreen:

Here at length is the footage. If anything it's slightly under exposed. I wonder why this is? Is it that the colossal zoom lens on the K-3 eats up light up compared with my hand-held light meter which just meters raw, ambient luminance?
