[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I would like to know (maybe this is a non-Leica question) how could I know how much I have to compensate what my cell give me in an indoor situation (incandescent light) in order to have the best result in Black&White neg. Also (I know, it depends of the skin tone) What is the distance (in focus stop) between the neutral grey and a normal pale skin, 1, 2, 3 stops? Can I measure it right with a handhld cell, one time in reflective mode, second time in incident mode, am I right? And last one, What kind of filter could I use in order to diminish little red imperfections of the skin? Thank you P.S. I just bought a second hand Macro-Elmarit R 1:2.8/60mm and would be pleased to have your appreciation on this lens, and maybe a comparision with the Summicron R 1:2/50mm P.P.S. What kind of film should I use to shoot without a tripod, with just one or two incandescent 75watt, iso1600, is it enough, or should I directly go to iso3200? Again, Thank you Greg
