exposure issues

Hi,

I recently bought an old large format field camera that came with a lens which is so old it has shutter speeds that don't correspond with my light meter; it has 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 100th, 200th, instead of the normal shutter speeds (8th, 15th, 30th, 60th etc.)

So my problem is trying to work out what the correct exposure should be...working from my meter. I'm shooting colour negative, so I'm guessing it can take a bit of latitude either way, but can't quite work out if I should go with an exposure that is slightly over, or slightly under what the meter says. For example, if my meter reading is F8/125th, should I shoot at F8/100th, or F8/200th?

Any input appreciated.

Cheers,
Jonathan.
