[APML]: ISO 6

[mark.kaye@sympatico.ca]

   We recently purchased an OM-2 and I am finding it to be a versatile 
camera.  I have also gotten in to duplicating slides and turning 
negatives into slides.  So far I have used regular but slow slide films 
for duplication, but for negatives to slides I have just tried using 
SO-279, an unISOed film.  Recommendations put it at about an ISO6 and 
the OM-2 only goes down to ISO12.  From examining the slides, usually 
the auto setting is the best pick in the bracketing.  This looks like it 
would also be true on the SO-279 if the OM-2 could be made to shoot at 
ISO 6 with the ability to push or pull at my choice.
   Is there a way to trick the camera?  Is there another member of the 
OM family that supports even slower films than 12?  Is there a way to 
accurately time ~second exposures?  Is there another choice?  I could 
dedicate a camera to duplication, that way the OM cameras could always 
have astro-film in them.
   Clear skies!
