Just two. My Olympus point and shoot has a roll of Superia in it.Actually, Ultramax, I just checked. I got both the batteries for it and the Ultramax for Christmas. I've taken to carrying this one with me as much as possible whenever I go out. My first camera was a Maxxum 400si, which I like a lot, but it was really just too big to take places. I'd only take it if I were bringing a backpack with me, and even then it took up a bit too much space a lot of the time. So when I'd go to class, if I had the space in my bag I'd bring it, or I'd bring it when I was going on a day trip or something like that with the idea that I'd for sure be taking some photos. Now with the Olympus, it fits in a pocket, so I've been taking it with me a lot more often and it's been nice so far. Although the other day I didn't bring it somewhere and I missed out on snapping this really beautiful Cadillac Eldorado.
And then I also have a roll of Ultramax 400 in my Contina IIa. I recently got a box of cameras, mostly rangefinders, a couple Continas, some SLRs, and a 6x6 Zeiss Ikonta, which I am really excited about. The only thing is most of them have some sort of minor usability defect or are simply not in working condition, and the Contina was one of the few that had no problems with it. Up until now I haven't been able to use a fully manual camera, so I'm glad I have the chance now. It's a viewfinder and I'm not very confident in my ability to focus well, but since I'm using 400ISO film, I generally have it set to f16 or f22 anyway.
The guide for Ultramax 400 says a shutter speed of 1/500 is what should be used, and based on light change the aperture, but the Contina's fastest shutter is 1/300.
Here's what the guide says:
Bright sun - 1/500 f16
bright sun with shadows or hazy sun - 1/500 f11
weak sun - 1/500 f/8
bright cloudy - 1/500 f5.6
heavy overcast - 1/500 f4
But since I can only go up to a 1/300 speed, I've generally used sunny 22 instead of sunny 16, and I am bracketing my shots typically. I've only taken I think 7 or 8 shots so far but I am taking note of what focus distance I set, shutter speed, aperture, and what I perceive to be the lighting conditions. So when I get these developed, I'll see what works.
