Since I'm somewhat of a newbie at B&W photography here's a question regarding the use of filters
While at on of the local camera shops the other day, I noticed they had a "junk bin" of filters for $5.00 ea. I picked up a Vivitar orange 08. According to the sheet that came with the filter, there should be -2 1/3 stop correction when using it in daylight. However, when placing it over my spotmeter, I show only 1 stop reduction. Could someone please explain the 1 1/3 stop difference? Bill - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
