Dear LF world -

Quick question, would just like some help to confirm the below..

Project-
Shooting 8x10 Paper Negs Portraits, 600mm f9 @ ISO 3, with Flash.

However, would like to preview on digital before hand, WITHOUT altering flash strength.

At ISO 100 on the digital, I think I require a 5 Stop ND filter to make it the equivalent of ISO 3?
Is that correct??

Then lets say, due to bellows compensation factor, I need an extra stop exposure, I would then need an extra ND stop? Making the equiv ISO 1.6?

Any comments would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
Matt
