Home-made exposure calculator, made on the back of an old slide-rule, with labels and marks.

Primarily intended for large-format and pinhole photography, it's not just a sunny-16 calculator like many of us once made at school. The idea is that it helps translates exposure measurements from a digital camera working at one particular ISO to a different manual camera at a different ISO. There is also provision for incorporation of filter factors and bellows factors. If necessary, it can always be turned over and used as a conventional slide rule too!

Usage:

1. For basic sunny-16 use, set the ISO being used against the weather symbol on the right hand scale. Read the exposure off the left hand scale. Either top or bottom scale may be used. The shutter speeds and f numbers go from a generous 1/8000sec to 2min and f/1 to f/3000 to cater for almost any camera. The top scale is most likely best for digital or 35mm cameras whereas the bottom scale is designed for large format and pinholes.

2. With access to a digital camera, or light meter, set the measured exposure on the left hand scale. Now "correct it" by putting the marker on the ISO used to make this measurement on the right hand scale. Move the middle slider so that the actual ISO that will be used to take the picture is under the marker. Read off the new exposure on left hand scale. A generous range of ISOs from 3200 to 0.2 and from 4000 to 1/4 are provided for almost any film. (I *do* often use ISO 1 or 2.)

3. For correction of filter factors or alteration by -1 to 4 stops, with the exposure set as above, put the marker at stop 0 or factor 1 and move the slider so the marker is above the required factor. Read the exposure as usual on left.

4. For bellows extension factors, set exposure as normal. Measure bellows extension with tape measure, put marker on focal length of lens, and move middle slider to the actual extension used. (I designed the three scales here for my three LF lenses. It's easy to calculate the values for other lenses.)

Corrections 2,3,4 can be made in any order, so if you take several pictures with different films and the same filtration and bellows extension, it may save time to do the ISO correction in 2 last (keeping the marker in the same place).
