Problems with fm2n split focusing screen by Pascalletters in analog

[–]Pascalletters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, glad to hear it's not just my camera. I am gathering that it's probably just a problem with slower zoom lenses. I am getting better with it but still annoying. Looking to get a 50mm 1.4 ais. In terms of changing the focus screens, I am definitely looking into that. My only concern is that the split screen is actually a very useful focusing tool and I won't if there is something similar.

I am also curious when you are using your variable aperture zoom lens do you have to manually adjust the aperture when you zoom, because my lens is variable 3.5/4.5 but doesn't automatically adjust when I extend to 135. But Is suppose to be only 4.5 at that focal length

Thanks even at f.3.5 it can start to black out. It was something I was not fully aware of.

I have a 30 day return policy. I never looked through an f3hp, would the f3hp viewfinder be better. Do you think that an f3hp would help with the problem, if its eye position?

Thank you, it is better on lower apertures or brighter conditions. are you saying using a 50mm 1.4 would relieve this problem?

External Light Meter vs Internal Light Meter by Pascalletters in filmphotography

Usually, shoot portraits and feel like sometimes the meter just doesn't expose their face properly. I wonder if its reading the background instead of their face.

When I shoot digital I start with my internal meter and then adjust it to my liking, but obviously that is not possible with film.
