I am so glad this forum exists. I do not use the forum like I should but believe I will when I get closer to putting my film together. I was using my Samsung S25 phone to set my camera settings on my Bolex Rex5 as well as see a preview of how the shot will look. I have a roll of ISO 100 daylight film and was planning to shoot at 24fps with a RX lens. I set my shutter at 1/60 sec (24 fps w/RX lens) and iso at 65 (2/3 stop down, light loss from prism). When I looked outside on a cloudy day to see my preview shot. I was seeing a washed out image as if it was too bright and could not see the green grass as everything was too light of an image. I could not believe that it was too bright with ISO 100 and that I would need to put a filter over my lens to reduce the light. Does sound right? or am I doing something wrong? It was approx. mid day. Not until the sun was was much further down approx. 8:00pm today did the view look reasonable for shooting. Just want to get some thoughts on this. Thanks guys
