Kodachrome 40 and Vision 200T Help!

I'm very new to S8...need some help with K40 and V200T in terms of daylight shooting. When shooting outdoors (especially in the early/late hours of the day when the sun is low in the sky) do I have to add a filter to balance the film for both stocks? I own a 85b for balancing 7240 stock, and my camera (Canon auto zoom 814) is equiped with some sort of daylight filter, will either of those be of use to colour correct when shooting K40 or V200T in daylight?

As well...I'm borrowing a Sekonic studio deluxe L-28, does anyone recommend this meter for use with the Canon 814, or should i stick with the camera's built in meter?

Thanks...any help is much appreciated.

The built in filter is a 85A which is correct for the V200T & K40.
Be aware that the V200T is a negative stock and can not be projected.
The K40 can and is normally much cheaper overall.

The built in light meter might be OK for most situations but if you want to play safe the use of an external light meter may help you to avoid problems.

IÃ‚Â´d recommend you to try to shoot some tests with the built in auto exposure control to gain some experience and compare with some analog shots using the external light metering system.

Okay thanks a lot...one more thing - when shooting outdoors with the K40 and with the 85A built in filter, will the film stock now be 25ASA? Do i have to set that on the light meter as to compensate for the filter?

Thanks very much

If you use the built in filter the camera will set the K40 to 25 ASA and compensate for the direct light loss of the filter.

Using an external meter it may be set o 25 ASA for the K40 and also some compensation for the direct light loss of the filter. You may find a guide for this at KodaksÃ‚Â´s web site: K40 And Filters

I personally love to shoot K-40 in daylight without a filter and time out the blue in post. Its a very different look.
