Slides in my FM2n

[denmark.yuzon]

hi. i currently use a Nikon FM2n.. im going to the beach for a vacation, this will be the first time ill be using slides..

ill be using Ektachrome 100 plus for shooting people as well as scenery, as i have heard and from the previous posts this is a versatile slide film..

and ill be using kodachrome for mostly sceneries and some landscapes.. gona bring velvias and some provias too.. but i doubt if ill use it since i will only be there for three days..

my problem is, what film speed should i set for the kodachrome 64... sorry for this very newbie and stupid question.. since my FM2n doesnt have 64 film speed rating.. using kodachrome 64 in my FM2n, should i set my film speed to 50 ISO or push it up to 100 ISO?

my FM2n doesnt have 64 film speed rating

a strange li'l FM2N you've got there... all mine have 64 right where it should be, on the first notch above 50

a notch? u mean something in the middle of 50 ISO and 100 ISO? something more like a dividing bracket between the two?

Ah, but Kodachrome is worth it.
