exposure allowance for center filter

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Large format photography : One Thread

I recently purchased a 72mm SA XL lens and center filter. How much exposure compensation do I use with this filter? Also is there a scale or formula to use to calculate long exposuresto adjust for reciprocity failure? Thanks all, Chet

Chet, try starting with either 1.5 or 2 stops of compensation. Polaroid will tell you close enough for you to make a couple of further test exposures, to truly nail it down.
