I usually give them 2/3 stop more exposure and get best tonality that way. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-486-2581 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 6/6/11 4:11 AM, "PHC" <lug at paulhardycarter.com> wrote: > Thanks for all your responses to this guys. > > Since I'm not sure of the lighting conditions I'll be working with I'm > going > to take a few rolls each of Ekter 100 and Portra, 160 & 400.
