Minoltina 8 Cine camera
Hi, Ruben.
You could try fitting a suitable neutral density, or ND, filter to reduce the light by either 2 or 3 stops. You need the plain, rather than graduated type. The bit I have trouble with is how to set your meter. I think the answer is to adjust the film speed down by either 2 or 3 stops. For a 2 stop filter, you would reduce 100asa to 25asa, and for a 3stop filter you would use 12asa. I’m sure that’s how it’s done, but I’m hoping someone will correct me if that’s wrong! I’m assuming you’re using a separate exposure meter, or one on the camera that doesn’t look through the lens. I’ve looked at the Minoltina. It has a full range of film speeds from 6-400 asa, but has no manual setting. It can use the Foma, but it would be worth testing the meter against a reliable one to ensure that any substitute meter battery is giving acceptable results. If you buy one of them, make sure it comes with at least one of the necessary film cartridges. You pre-load it with film and the changeover is much easier for the second run.

I know the problem, but maybe something could be improvised? I don’t know if your camera has a filter thread. If it does, you might be able to find a converter ring to take it up to a popular size. No thread can be a bit of a problem, but maybe a square resin filter could be cut down to suit.
