Another gadget, if you don't like to fumble under the darkcloth. Looking as an ordinary pencil (actually it is), consists of two parts. The part marked "Sinar" has to be placed in the object scene. Looking on the GG, measure the size on the GG and read the factor or f-stop. Note: The pencil takes China leads (Writes on glass - erasable with lighter fluid) to mark your GG eventually.

Probably the most speedy dials can be found in the Kodak Professional Photoguide. This is the Exposure dial for Bellows extension.(usable with all your focal lengths) We did adjust the dial for a focal length of 7In at a bellows draw of 14In resulting in an Exposure factor of 4 (2stops). These guides pop-up on Ebay regularly! |
