Ilford Delta 400 & Ikofelx Zeiss Ikon

[Snapper73]

So I've picked up a Ikofelx Zeiss Ikon completely manual and the setting are 100 or 50 shutter speed and from F4.5 upto F22

Couple of questions before I load the film into it.

Using 400ASA is this ok as it has no ASA dial ?

Also it's A manual winder, i'm guessing you keep winding the film (2 or 3 winds) until the number of the film appears in the red dot window.


Thanks

I would say yes and yes.

Also manuals here I think:

Since there isn't a meter the camera doesn't care about the asa. You'll either need to set the film speed on your light meter, some phones can works a decent enough meters with an app, or look up the speed on a Sunny 16 chart... Or just guess

Yeah you just keep winding till the number shows up, it doesn't need to be exact there is a fair margin around the shots.

Thanks to you both

P.S noticed the camera has a sneaky hidden shot counter

IIRC there is no meter ( hence no need for an ASA dial) so basically meter the scene with a handheld lightmeter or judge the light using sunny F/16 rule and set the aperture & shutter speed according to the film speed you choose to put through it.

For eg: cloudy day ( EV 12 perhaps).....400 iso film, F/11, 1/100 shutter.

And yes wind the film until the next frame number appears....if you don't you will double expose!
