Re: Vintage film cameras
Sounds about right, if in doubt go a stop brighter. Am still working my way through my first 120 film which is Ilford FP4 ISO125, according to the instructions it will tolerate 2 stops too dark or 6 too bright. Count them, 6! A lot of people set the ISO to half the box speed anyway as a way of exposing for the dimmer bits (shadows is a strong word), and certainly from my own pics, overexposure is preferential to underexposure any day of the week.
Have you seen the Pocket Light Meter app? It's for iphone/ipad, my wife has one. There are others but this is the best. Not all phones can have their light meter accessed for an app e.g. my Galaxy Ace can't.
