Need help with a shot.

[BIG4D]

So I am entered in a FILM competition at our local club. The category is "Incongruous Juxtaposition". The attached picture is the shot I am setting up. I am trying to get the exposure all set up with my digital so when I switch over to my film camera, I know what the settings should be.

My question is this. Will the settings that are correct for my digital, be the same for my film camera?

Here is the setup.
Digital
Canon 7D, in manual mode.
1/200 at f/4.0

Canon 580EXII at 1/64th power triggered with simple radio poper, off to camera right.
ISO 100
lens is the Canon 28-135.

Film,
Canon EOS Rebel 2000
Film Kodak E100(G)
Plan on using the same lens and on the digital.

So, just transfer the settings to the Rebel and take the shot?
Thanks for you feedback. Trying to challenge myself to shoot more film.

A couple of things to consider:
1. Will the Rebel sync @ 1/200? I'm trying to remember for that but for some reason 1/125 is in my head. But I could be wrong. You'll want to check. Also, if there is high speed sync, will it work with your flash?
2. I would bracket the shot pretty well on film. Yes, in theory the exposure should be relatively close but every film responds slightly differently and you'll want a good bracket around the theoretical exposure.
On a side note, remember the days of setting the camera ISO to intentionally under/overexpose? Those were the days! Ilford Delta 100 @ 64 iso. How many frames did I shoot like that?
cheers,

Note: I'm speaking directly from my rectal sphincter, having never shot film on anything more serious than a 35mm P&S

Given the same ISO, lighting, and lens, then matching shutter and aperture settings should yield the same level of exposure. The only difference I could foresee is the contrast and color definition of the film being different than the digital sensor.

I know photographers used to shoot a bunch of test shots on instant film before exposing the actual 35mm or larger film.

This.


plus characters to make 10.

I'd suggest bracketing too. One other thing you might try is to find yourself a grey card and take a meter reading with both cameras set to the same ISO (or ASA) before actually taking the pictures. Checking how each camera reads the grey card might let you know if there is much difference, if any. (If you don't have a grey card, just find a wall or something plain to meter.)

As far as flash, I have no idea how that affects the mix.

On a positive note, I have read (and experienced) most films tend to be more forgiving than digital sensors when it comes to exposure. I pulled out my old Canon AE1 (circa 1982ish) and was surprised to get mostly properly exposed frames despite metering off grass and occasionally my blue jeans. (That old trick didn't to work so well with my digital, it seemed pickier.)

Good luck with it.
