Happy filming. Jean

Cool. Two of them are identical to my friend's cats in Montreal. Jean

Did you use auto exposure with the polariser? Jean

First of all congratulations and my best wishes. My short experience with Tri-X and the AF310XL is that the camera auto exposure give excellent results. I think you will be pleased and I would not worry about the filter since It seems that you intend to transfer the results on video. Jean

Very dark indeed. The results with a Canon 514XL on auto mode were excellent. I guess the 518 don't read 100 asa properly. My guess would at least one stop underexposure. Jean

I shot with a Nizo S2 in auto mode and filter out on a sunny and lightly overcast day and the results were excellent. It is good not having to compensate for exposure when filming on the run. Jean

I am not sure but in my case I don't take the chance. It could be a good idea to make a short test. Happy shooting. Jean

Thanks Andre, I was thinking about one of these for fill light:

Hello. Any of you tried using led lights with Ekta100D ? If so I would appreciate to read about your experience. Thanks in advance. Jean

Good to know! And is that one of the earlier Mini Disc recorders as opposed to the HiMD models?

A earlier Sony MZ N707 MDLP

Hello again. 44.1 sampling means CD quality. When listening to my minidisc recordings transfered on a PC and then copied to a CD I find the difference in sound quality negligible. Good luck. Jean

With a Minidisc you lose a generation when transfering to a PC using a minijack and analog mode. But if you upsample to 44.1 (CD quality) the sound deterioration is quite low with voice and field recordings.

Virus on HD disc, hair in super 8 camera gate... We live in a dangerous world. Jean

I use a minidisc with a Sony DS70P microphone. Hard to beat for portability and ease of use. A extension cable is necessary to avoid recording the motor noise. Jean
