It's easy! ASA (or ISO they are the same thing) only doubles for every additional stop or halves for one less stop.
100 ISO -> 200 ISO is plus one stop and same with 50 -> 100
Then 500 to 250 is minus one stop and same with 800 -> 400, etc.
Rule Boston has a Varicam 35 package listed at $25,000 right now. It's been up since April
Or how about that's EXACTLY what to do when you're testing a piece of gear. I'd rather find out the demo is junk before I buy it.
What's noteworthy is the bigger Varicam 35 is on the second hand market for cheaper than the LT body new. I've seen them go for less than $20k WITH over $4k worth of media, the $5k evf, and the shoulder rig. That makes the Varicam 35 body used for only $10k.
If the same depreciation happens to the LT, I'd pick one up.
