DX Coding
Always wondered but never found out?….what’s with the squares? Wonder no more! Thanks to www.Laiblin.de.
If, like me, you frequently rate HP5+ at ISO800 you can scrape off the square “2″ on the coding so the camera automatically rates it 800 and not 400. This will work for any native ISO400 film of course. It gives you some extra freedom with cameras that don’t have a manual film speed setting.
Maybe you can start wondering why it stops at ISO5000: wouldn’t a jump to 6400 have been more useful?
