Exposures with Filters
The thread of the
lens mount takes a screw-in
filter
(1).
Filters require an exposure
correction. Its value
is engraved on the filter mount. This indicates
the number
of
steps by
which the aperture has
to
be
opened
(towards
lower f/numbers) or the
exposure time increased.
Usually the exposure is corrected by opening
the aperture. For example if the measured
aperture is f/t1, and the filter
correction value
-1.5
(i.
e. 11
/z
aperture steps), use
an apercure
setting
between fl9 and f
15.6.
If
you
want to correct
by increasing the expo-
sure time, moving
the shutter speed
wheel from
one
value to the
next
corresponds
to a full
exposure
step correction.
Half steps can only
be allowed
for by intermediate
aperture set-
tlngs.
Rollei
filters for black-and-white shots:
Rollei
medium
yellow
filter
(exposure
correc-
tion
-1.5).
This
makes
the
sky reproduce
darker, clouds
more brilliant
and improves
modelling in snow
shadows.
Rollei orange filter (exposure
correction
-1.5
to
-3,
according
to the film type used).
This
darkens
blue skies to
give
heavy thunderstorm
effects
and lightens
yellows
and reds.
Rollei
filters for colour shots:
Rollei filter H
1 and Rollei
colour conversion
filter R 1.5
(these
require no
exposure correc-
tion).
They subdue blue
casts which
can arise
on
cloudless days through
the
predominanr
blue
skylight, especially
in distant views.
'With
some
reversal
colour films
a warmer overall
render-
ing
may be desirable. In
that
case the
R 1.5
filter may
be used for all
shots.
@
Shooting with
the Lens Hood
The outer rim
of the
lens will take
the
push-
on Rollei
lens hood
(2)
ro
prorecr
the
lens
against
direct rays
from
the sun,
as well
as
against
splashes of water
and
drops
of rain.
It
ensures optimum
brilliance
and
sharpness
for
your
shots. Always
use
it when
shooting
into
the sun.
