Yashika 35 Electro

[tomalophicon]

Hi all,
I'm considering shooting some Delta 3200 with a Yashika 35, but the filmspeed dial only goes to 1000ASA.
Is there something I can do to push this film for shooting at a carnival at night?
Thanks,
Tom.

You can put the speed selector on the lens ring on the flash setting instead of auto The you will have a fixed 1/30th of a second shutter speed. You lose the metering and have to use a hand held meter or guess at an aperture setting .

I don't like the idea of using a handheld meter at this show, I want to remain as stealthy as possible.
Can I shoot at 1000ASA dial setting and develp for longer or something?

Delta 3200 is really ASA 1000 film; technically it's push processed when you shoot at the 'box' speed, so you should be able to get good results at ASA 1000. The problem I would be concerned about is having fast enough shutter speeds at that speed at night.

OK so maybe it's too fast a film. I thought if stopped down I should be OK.
I will try some 400 and 800 as a test beforehand.

Look up times for Delta 3200 at 1000. It should work fine.

Thanks for the help everybody.

I routinely shoot my electro GSN at 800 in very low light (say at a concert) and usually get good results. Just breath out and shoot! Oh. Sometimes I set the selftimer so my finger jamming on the shutter release doesnt jog the camera.

Cool thanks.
There will be carnival lights and what not but it will be dark.

At f/16 my Electro GSN can ramain open up to 30 seconds if necessary
