Playin' with Your ASA Settings on LC-A+

21 49

What does ASA mean, anyway?

It is similar to ISO and is a measure of a film’s sensitivity to light (or graininess of images). It is just a different standard organization than ISO.

I love my LC-A+ because everytime I use it, the result is astonishingly incredible. Especially when recently, my curiosity to try and play with ASA settings has peaked.

These pictures are taken with my LC-A+ paired with Lomography Ringflash loaded with KODAK EBX 100. And the ASA setting is of course higher than 100. I switch it to 200 or 400, even 800.

And here are some of the results:

Oops... wrong article....
Nice pics, by the way.
bulletofmine · 2011-07-12 02:56

Nice, love the colours. Given me ideas to try this across a range of xpro rolls and see how the colours can be manipulated.

Kodak ebx shot at iso 200 is the sex!
djnada · 2011-07-16 18:46
Can someone help clarify the difference between ASA and ISO? I thought they were the same, but the beginning of your article makes it sound otherwise. Gorgeous shots by the way.
fieldym · 2011-07-17 07:44
The difference between ISO and ASA is the further information,
ISO was the combination of two standards, ASA and DIN

Eg. ISO 200/24° Is ASA100 and DIN24°

"The ISO arithmetic scale corresponds to the ASA system, where a doubling of film sensitivity is represented by a doubling of the numerical film speed value."

"In the ISO logarithmic scale, which corresponds to the DIN scale, adding 3° to the numerical value constitutes a doubling of sensitivity"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed
djnada · 2011-07-17 18:35
@fieldym: OK, so is it fair to say then that temperature is added into the ISO equation, of which ASA is one component (ASA + DIN = ISO)?

What I don't get is how (or if) we take them into account separately when shooting. I know I can set my camera to a different ISO than the film and have over or underexposed pics, but the ASA part... that's where I am lost in terms of pragmatics. Thanks!
eva_eva · 2011-07-18 02:54
Awesome! :D
foodeanz · 2011-07-18 06:16
