KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 80A)
KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 80A)
Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light
exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds
or exposure indexes. These indexes apply for meter readings
of average subjects made from the camera position or for
readings made from a gray card of 18-percent reflectance
held close to and in front of the subject. For unusually light-
or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure
indicated by the meter accordingly.
