Alviar If you are using the Kodak film...shoot it at 400 ISO. Your meter on the Super will be fine...make sure you develop it for 400. I made the mistake of shooting it at 100 and developing it at 400. I now have a roll of nice DARK negs too. Make sure you load the film in the dark...and take it out in the dark. Get it processed as soon as you can. Keep it in the fridge until then. Do you know about focusing for Infrared film? The little red dot on the lens?
