earleygallery Posted November 23, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2011 What do you mean by speed settings? To start I'd suggest simply exposing for ISO400. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messsucherkamera Posted November 23, 2011 Share #3 Posted November 23, 2011 I haven't shot this film myself, but I concur with earleygallery's advice - start at ISO 400. Additionally, do some basic exposure tests. Shoot some subjects at ISO 400 and bracket +1/2 and +1 stop of exposure (open up from your meter reading). If you prefer the ISO 400 +1/2 exposure, that corresponds to ISO 300. If you prefer the ISO 400 +1 exposure, that corresponds to ISO 200. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Sellitto Posted November 24, 2011 Share #4 Posted November 24, 2011 Neopan 400 rated @ 250 works just fine with normal development. http://www.franksellitto.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted November 25, 2011 Share #5 Posted November 25, 2011 Depends what you want to achieve. Rate at 400, use Sunny-16 and free your mind. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasw_ Posted November 27, 2011 Share #8 Posted November 27, 2011 Hmm...OP, are you asking how to set the shutter speed and lens aperture for a specific film ISO e.g. 400 ISO? The M3 is an all-mechanical body without any in-camera meter, so you need to choose your shutter speeds and apertures according to your reading of the specific light conditions, using the film "speed" as a constant. The dial on the M3's back is merely for you to set as a reminder of which film ISO (eg 27 DIN is roughly 400ISO) you have in the camera; it does nothing in the way of setting an exposure I suggest obtaining a good hand held meter and you will get very proficient at 'reading' the light quite swiftly. I use a sekonic L-308 S light meter, and it rocks; but there are other great light meters you might want to use: the gossen digisix, the sekonic l208 etc...

stunsworth Posted November 27, 2011 Share #9 Posted November 27, 2011 on M3 there is no iso 400.. this was my question on using it The M3 has no light meter, so the dial on the back has no effect on the exposure. It was just intended to remind the photographer of the speed of the film in the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted November 27, 2011 Share #10 Posted November 27, 2011 I believe that the OP is confusing the shutter speed dial for an ISO setting dial. Every M works exactly like an M8 or M9 in manual mode, but most of them just don't have a built in meter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doolittle Posted November 27, 2011 Share #11 Posted November 27, 2011 on M3 there is no iso 400.. this was my question on using it On the M3 the iso dial on the back plate just acts as a remainder to what film you have loaded, it doesn't do anything. Not familiar with Neopan 400 cn. I have used Neopan 400 b&w process film, I see the cn is Colour Negative C-41 process film. I usually just expose the b&w film to its box speed and it works fine. My M3 has a 400 iso setting, though maybe earlier ones don't? Either way it doesn't matter. Are we talking shutter speeds? In which case you have a choice of 250 or 500. Though maybe you have an older M3, in which case the shutter speeds have a different progression (I think 100,200,500,1000). I would just choose the closest. Decide if want to expose slightly more or less, won't matter too much either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
