[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 79172, member: 6548"] When I shoot good film like Fuji 160 Pro S or C I always rate it at 125. Problem is I don't have a meter on my F2 it is an Eye-level finder. Everything about the camera is mechanical and manual. What this means is I have to have a reference point for a particular level light. The reference point I use with the 160 speed film is an EV of 15 or sunny 16 rule or a starting point in full or slightly hazy sunlight. In other words I shoot a full or slightly hazy sunlight scene at 125 shutter speed and f/16 I "pull" the Fuji film 160 a little bit ;) You use +/- EV values to overexpose/underexpose whatever your meter is reading. With the 160 film I "pull" it to 125 so it overexposes the film. If EV is negative you are underexposing...positive you are overexposing. If you push the film you are underexposing if you pull it you are overexposing it. [/QUOTE]
