Mark, my calculations are: Both frames were shot at f13 on AV. Your last frame of Velvia was shot at 1.5 seconds, + 1stop exposure bracketing. You then changed films to E100Vs, and changed the film speed rating to 100 (or let the system set it automatically from the DX code) The first frame of E100Vs, at normal exposures, should be shot at .375 seconds, displayed as 3 in the imprint. The reported settings confirm that this is what the camera was doing.
Thanks - that confirms my calculations. So we know that the camera at least intended to expose the E100VS correctly....
So how is it so wrong? And I agree that the Velvia at 1 stop over looks ok, but my personal preference would be to go down 1 more stop, in fact to normal.
Actually, the -1 shots look the best. The detail in the moon is visible and the lighthouse and sky look about right - a little dark but, it was dark.
I would conclude that: The film was processed as an ISO50 film - did you do it yourself?
No - it was done at a lab here in town. I wondered about processing myself, but the imprinted framed numbers etc on the roll look just fine, and they'd be off if it was misprocessed.
I bought 2 bricks (40 rolls) of that film about a year ago. This roll isThe film was mis-labelled - rare, I know, and was actually an ISO50 film in the wrong can. Do you have any others from the same batch you could test.
from the middle of the 2nd brick - so I don't think the film itself is
problematic. I have not been shooting much lately and this roll was rather
stale - I date the film when I pull it out of the freezer and this roll had
been in my film bag, unrefrigerated, since mid September. But that should
not have been a major problem (the Velvia was from mid August.) the
expiration date on the film is 5/2003 - so in general it should be OK.
I wound up shooting out the third roll yesterday, so when it is processed
I may get some more clues - if that roll (Velvia) is OK then
clearly something was wrong with the E100VS....
