Hi,

Actually I don't have much problems when I send my negs down to Fee Fee or when I did my own processing. I try to get an average metering in normal circumstances and like andy had guessed, I sometimes expose for the shadows and (when I do my own processing) develop for the highlights. But been lazy and busy to do my own processing nowadays unless its some really important or, in my opinion, award winning stuff (seldom happens la).

Hi,

Would like to confirm... Light Yellow filter, does it have any no. to recognise the correct Light Yellow filter? The way "Light Yellow" filter is named sounds like there are some grades of Yellow Filters...

Thanks and regards.

Helo,

There is yellow, yellow-orange, orange, red and green. You can also try Hoya HMC coated B/W filters. They offer better light transmission resulting in better contrast pics.
