So... here I thought I knew everything about my camera, since I have been using these off and on for over 20 years.
I have a Spotmatic. It has a film speed selector that appears to have "notches" at 100 ASA, 200 ASA, and two equally spaced "notches" in between.
(I have a photo of this selector but I seem to be able to upload any photos to this forum. Maybe I am too new.)
Anyway, I just bought a roll of Kodak Portra 160 film, not thinking much about the ASA until I looked at my camera again. I am thinking that I would be just fine to put my ASA selector switch at the "notch" that would be at about 166.66 ASA and just go with that. I am wondering if anyone else has tried such a thing.
Intuitively, it seems like this shouldn't matter that much, but I thought I would check.
Thanks,
Adam
