Question about FED-2 magazine to hold film
View previous topic :: View next topic

I've been reading the manual that talks about the "magazine" to hold the film... I'm wondering if a standar 35mm film could be used. Mine came without any "magazine" for this purpose.
Thanks in advance.
Jes.

I guess that you can use every normal 35mm film roll.
(But I do not have a FED-2.)

Perhaps this helps:

Ahmm, is that the manual you were referring to?

I guess they mean with "film magazine" a kind of reusable roll for the Russian 35mm film that had a slightly wider emulsion than modern (Western) film or for professionals who buy their films in "metres". Wink

Ok, I'll try to put some standard film in, and use the SIXON meter for getting the light measured....
Thanks!
Best regards,
Jes.

My old rangefinder (an Aries IIIC) also talks about their film cartridge in the manual however a normal 35mm film seems to work just fine in it.


Okay, thanks!!

Now the second question....

What about ISO settings for the film?
I see no ISO knob at all...

I plan to use ISO 200 colour film to try it.

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Jes.

Jesito,
Open up the owner's manual that Carsten posted above (it's also posted
in my FED thread) and it will be #21 film type reminder (top knob on
the right hand side).

Hi Bill, thanks for your answer. I noticed it, but I don't understand the relationship among the know posit?ions and the sensibility of film...

The manual says there are three kind of films: "daylight colour, Tungsten colour and B&W". And later on says: "Marks without figures correspond to GOST speeds 32, 65, 130 units".

This is kinda chinese for me Sad

Best regards,
Jes.

What is GOST?
Never heard of it.

I know well the DIN scale because when I photographed with my father's Super Ikonta that is what I used.

From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed

GOST (Russian: ГОСТ) is a pre-1987 linear standard used in the former Eastern Bloc. It was almost, but not quite identical to the ASA standard. After 1987 the GOST scale was aligned to the ISO scale. GOST markings are only found on pre-1987 photographic equipment (film, cameras, lightmeters, etc.) of Eastern Bloc manufacture.

I've never seen any GOST-rated film, but I remember coming across GOST years ago when I had the Zenit and we were using ASA numbers. I still find myself saying ASA instead of that new-fangled ISO stuff. Smile

Great!!!!... thanks a lot, Peter, no idea of what GOST was before!.
But ISOs are without the trailing zero, aren't they?. (21 DIN = 100ASA).
Now is time to put the first roll in...
Best regards,
Jes.

Yes, I copied this from a website and I think they used zeros instead of the symbol for degrees: ° (Alt+0176)

This is a better table from the Wiki site:
