Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on DX encoding. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120328024322/http://old.pentaximaging.com/world_of_pentax/history_of_innovations/1980-1989/ to http://old.pentaximaging.com/world_of_pentax/history_of_innovations/1980-1989/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Just to be sure, DX mentions speed but not ISO? This distinction is important for films like TMax 3200, which have a recommended EI different from the ISO value. Gah4 (talk) 11:53, 19 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

From my understanding, the DX code on those films labels them at their EL of 3200 ISO equivalent, the technical ISO of the film is ignored. I could be wrong! Anymouse (talk) 11:51, 6 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
