Re: BSI - film speed system etc

2006-10-21 Thread P. J. Alling
You misunderstand, I'm speaking about the notation.

For example Kodachrome 64

ASA = 64 
DIN = 19º
ISO = 64/19º

it works for all film speeds of course

ASA = 100
DIN = 21º
ISO = 100/21º

ASA = 400
DIN = 27º
ISO = 400/27º

The international standards organization happily took both notations in 
general use and combined them into one. 

ASA is easier to relate to shutter speeds and apertures once you 
understand them but that wasn't my point.

N...
ASA - doubleing the values means halving the shutter time - a numeric/linear
scale.
DIN is a logarithmic scale - 3 DIN means twice or half as much light.
It's true that Scheiner and Weston are 1/3 stops apart.

This table does not mention BSI.

Yes but they don't bother telling you that ASA = BSI = ISO and that ISO
is just the combination of the ASA value and the DIN value in a single
notation, (and most people just leave off the DIN value).

According to wikipedia, Scheiner-Grad is DIN minus 10. That'd make SCH33°  
equivalent to DIN23°, or ASA 160. Indeed 1/3 of a stop off BSI 125.

Nice camera :o)

Thanks, Bob. I have now changed my description. An  Agifold will normally go
for 20-30 GB.
I haven't done any shootig with it yet. But I will. I'd like to have a 6x6
folder in my 35mm camera back for  just in case. I have been bidding for a
Ensign 820 and 1220 (6x9 ans 645) - but these are quite expensive ...

BSI was, I believe, the same as Weston. If so, it is 1/3 stop off from 
ASA, I forget which way.
