Comments[edit]

E64T[edit]

Reads the Ektachrome 64T's notch correctly as 64ASA. There is an 85 filter that can be operated manually or automatically with the installation of the Gaf Movie-Lite II in the top socket.

V3-500T[edit]

Shooting 500 ASA indoor film requires pushing the Ultra Fast Film switch on the side of the camera.

General[edit]

Because you have manual control of the 85 filter, this camera should easily handle Kodak Vision3 50D, Vision3 200T and Vision3 500T as well as Kodak Ektachrome 100D Super 8 film stocks. Because it allows manual control of the aperture and also has a standard 77mm filter ring on the lens, complete control of the exposure should be available using F-stop and ND filters.
