The MTBR forum standard for beamshot camera settings is:

ISO 100, Daylight, aperture F4, 6 sec exposure and posters here try to follow that.:thumbsup:

I have dusted off the SLR. No ISO 100 film in town so I bought ISO 200 daylight.

So I could use:
ISO 200, daylight, F5.6 and exposure time of 6 seconds. The Zoom lens doesn't do F4, F 3.5, but not F4.

Or see if the 50 mm lens and the shutter release cable are in the same packing box.
No beam shots before it snows again, I'm afraid.

Anyone have issues if I use ISO 200 on an equal setting?

Using chemical film to get beamshots, you would have to print and re-scan the photographs to publish them on the internet. That would make it difficult to compare your pics to the ones taken with MTBR forum settings on a digital camera.

You are right. The processing can lighten or darken it a lot without some common reference to calibrate. You get digital output but it still depends on the operator, though the one I'll have do it is a college trained photographer. She might have an idea on how to maintain the original film intensity. I'll also see if I can borrow something.
