>A shutter that consistently underexposes by 100% causes the film to receive:
>
>1 stop underexposure
>2 stops of underexposure
>3 stops of underexposure
>no exposure
No exposure of course!!!

Nicely placed after the 100% overexposure question to lull the unwary ;o)



>A .3 Neutral Density filter transmits what percentage of light incident
on
Well, 50% is the answer you are after but ...
Actually, the real answer is "it depends".
- on wavelength(s)
- on angle of incidence
- on recording medium
- polarisation
- etc.

Perfect ND filters don't exist.  Real world ones only give 50% under the
precise conditions specified for testing ;o)



>The rule of thumb is that to ensure sharp photographs the exposure should
>not be longer than:
>1/the focal length in mm
Shouldn't this be the "effective focal length of the lens ? ;o)
(or would that involve going against the tide and  teaching the students
that digital cameras don't really change the focal length ;o)
