Hi Everyone,
I have been shooting MF (Hassy system) for some time now and have developed a comfort with the use of EV values when measuring for exposure settings.
After years of lusting for a larger negative, I have found myself the proud owner of a Linhof Technika V with a Symmar 1:5.6/150 lens. I will spare you all descriptions of my giddiness over this long awaited moment.
I'm told this lens is part of the original kit the camera was sold as, so it is not a new one.
I am confused about the shutter speed configuration the lens is mounted in. The speeds are indicated as 1, 1/2, 1/5, 1/10, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/200, and 1/400. These nine settings do not seem to line up the the 10 settings on my Hasselblad lenses of 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1,250, and 1/500.
Are the speed settings on this symmar lens typical of LF lenses?
Can I assume that f16 @ 1/400 on the Linhof is the equivalent EV value of the Hasselblad lens setting of f16@1/250?
I hope this isn't a stupid question.
