Hi everyone,

I am taking my SWC Hasselblad and some HP5+ to Norway this xmas and was looking for some good recommendation regarding exposure time at f/4.5 and nominal speed, as well as bracketing interval (no more than 2).

I would really appreciate the advices of the wise and experienced !

Many thanks!

Vania

I have been using the Jiffy Calculator since it came out in 1963. I would start with scenes 24 to 26.

You might want to use color film too.
