This is pretty much the same approach I use with Kodak's SO-279 film to 
create positives from color negative film.  After setting the R8 meter to its 
lowest value - EI 8, I use the exposure compensation lever for 2 stops of 
overexposure for an EI of 2 and then let the aperture priority circuitry do 
the thinking for me with excellent results.

The R8 meter rules!
