Slide Film

    Hi just picked up a roll of 200 slide film on a whim in town. I'm heading away this weekend and will be using it mainly outdoors in either my Phenix or Kodak colorsnap 35.

    Do anyone have any advise for a first timer?

    You get less latitude with slide film. It's not a negative, so there's none of this "negative is the score, print is the performance" carry on...

    She (?) means you have to expose slide film very carefully as it can't represent a wide range of tonal values like negative film can. You need to expose it very carefully and keep the highlights of an image within a stop or two of your exposure value.

    As an incidental consequence BTW, I wouldn't use that colorsnap to shoot slide. Is there a meter or is it a 'pick a weather symbol and hope for the best' kind of exposure ? You're better off shooting it in the phenix, presuming it has a meter.

    Yes the colorsnap (I hate using the american spelling for it!) has a hope for the best setting, the worst is trying to judge the distance in feet,

    I'll actually take both and hope for the best. I've got my DSLR and octocam as well so it'll be a learning curve. Lets hope there are nice people at the Flat Lakes festival!

    If anything decent comes out I'll post!
