Hans, I sat down and calculated the f/stop differences between the current
speed scale and the old one. The stickiest part of the scale comes at
between 1/5 and 1/25 sec. The other parts of the scale will be off from
between 1/5 to 1/3 stop versus the modern scale. If you don't do a lot of
work between 1/4 sec. and 1/30 sec. You shouldn't have many problems. I
suspect that those speeds are most likely used with fast B&W film in your
street work. The latitude there should make it acceptable.
