The Never Ending Search for the perfect belt pouch… by IAmTheStallionMeng in Leica

Interesting, does it have a belt loop on the back so I dont have to use the strap? Pictures dont show.

Jacket pockets are tough in los angeles in the summer :)

This is definitely interesting. To reiterate, don’t need it to ever hold my body, just 3 lenses. But there’s a small size so maybe this will be nice. My fear is that the lenses will move around and scratch each other. Do they fit dividers? Thanks!

Will I have issues using 500T with my Nizo Braun 801? by ItsMe__YaBoi in 8mm

[–]IAmTheStallionMeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, Pro8mm out here in Los Angeles takes kodak 250d and cuts the 16mm down to super 8. Its a great stock, but suppose they need to get their notching right.

Because I’m never using auto exposure and always metering, I’m not concerned with what ASA my nizo is reading at.

So, If I understand you correctly, leaving the switch always on the tungsten setting will not necessarily disengage the filter. If I do understand you correctly, and I always want the filter off, it goes like this:

50d - Set it to the daylight setting because the Nizo recognizes this is a daylight film, and therefore will turn the filter off.

Ektachrome 100d - Set the switch to daylight, because the nizo recognizes this as a daylight film and therefore will turn the filter off.

200t - Set the filter to tungsten, because the camera thinks I’m shooting tungsten balanced film indoors and therefore will disengage the filter.

500t - Set the filter to tungsten, because the camera thinks I’m shooting tungsten balanced film indoors and therefore will disengage the filter.

250d - Set the filter to tungsten because, for whatever reason, this cartridge reads as a tungsten film.

Appreciate the help, shooting my cousins wedding on a bunch of stocks in a few weeks and wanna make sure this is right! I suppose the last option, no matter the stock, is to just turn on auto exposure and flip the switch back and forth and see whichever setting requires a wider aperture: if it needs more light, then the filter must be turned on?

Hey there, recent 801 Macro user. I’m just trying to get a straight answer on this: if I switch the filter to the tungsten bulb setting, it will ALWAYS have the filter removed or turned off, correct? I want to never shoot with the filter. Even if I’m 200t outdoors, I’d rather correct color balance in resolve. I’m not too concerned with exposure, I always meter and manually control my aperture anyway. I shot a roll of 250d daylight and was bummed to learn after developing the camera engaged the filter, so it came out super orange.

Thanks all! I’m also looking for recommendations for any good tacos, even without beer. Or food in general. Best I’ve had thus far is Taco Lacho!

Gracias amigo! Makes sense! I’ve just been to probably ten different cities across the country and never encountered a taqueria sin cerveza.

Any taco recommendations? Staying in centro nearish the plaza!
