alw Posted December 22, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 22, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) So I got this basic Metz automatic flash which has two automatic settings: 2.8 & 5.6 for 100ASA film. If I use 400ASA film, does 2.8 change two stops to 5.6 and 5.6 to 11? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giordano Posted December 22, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 22, 2008 So I got this basic Metz automatic flash which has two automatic settings: 2.8 & 5.6 for 100ASA film. If I use 400ASA film, does 2.8 change two stops to 5.6 and 5.6 to 11? If the flash has a dial or switch for setting the film speed, set that to 400 and you'll see what aperture settings are available. If there's no film speed adjustment - and I've never seen an automatic Mecablitz without one - then yes, use apertures two stops smaller for the two-stop-faster film. You can download many Mecablitz instruction books from the Metz website at Home: Metz (Home: Metz for the English site). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alw Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted December 22, 2008 This is the tiniest version, 20 C-2, and it has only a diagram for determining the effective range with various speeds/apertures. But thanks, I remembered correctly then, two stops smaller aperture for 400. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
