Looking into shooting more Super 8mm film again.
Remember having difficulty shooting outdoors due to overexposure and therefore wanted to control this issue with a variable ND filter.
Will a variable ND filter solve this problem? Do I need a particular one? Circular? Linear?
The Super 8mm wiki page says this regarding polarizers:
"Any users should be careful while using polarizing filters with that camera due to the TTL (Trough the lens viewfinder) system. Users have to use CIRCULAR polariser only. A LINEAR polariser would ruin your image and turns it to pitch black footage due to the built-ins polarized mirrors that sends the image in the viewfinder and in the gate simultaneously. The same phenomenon occurs while putting two polarizing filters back to back in a Matte box."
Thanks in advance.
