The problem with judging by the ASA is that sometimes films are down or uprated. My children behind the net photo was some TMZ that I was trying at 1600 to see if I could tolerate the film. When I grabbed the camera I thought I had Neopan 1600 in it which would have been a much better choice.

Of course, on the other hand, since we're talking about 400 asa color neg film in both cases - as that's essentially what TCN is - and you don't plan to push it, why not just shoot? It's not as though the question is "am I shooting K64 slides or Delta 3200 b&w negs?" ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Don Dory Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2004 9:06 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] help- what film is in my camera? Eric, Get a pad of "post it" notes in the color of your choice, borrow a mini labs stack cutter and cut off everything but the sticky strip at the top. You will have a 1/4 inch strip that you can write on, doesn't leave an adhesive residue, and will fit either on the strip of metal on the back under the wind lever or on the bottom plate. Beside basic film stock you can also add notes about pushing/pulling and or subject matter that can then be peeled off the camera and stuck on the film can. Kyle, you can use 'Hello Kitty" pink if you like.

Ok - it has starting hapening to me (at a tender early age).. As a weekend warrior photographer I often pick up my M7 on a Saturday morning to shoot. Counter often says frame 15 or 16 - but hmmm.. what is in camera? Did I last shoot TCN or Fuji Press 400? Rats - no way to know until I finish the roll. Any nifty ideas for remembering what film you have in your camera. No wise-guy answers please. Llike a post-it on your forehead.. I have taken to taking a bit of the film's box and slipping it into the hotshoe - but it seems rather inelegant. forgetful in frigid new england, Eric _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE online virus check for your PC here, from McAfee. http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
