    Easy. To quote Kodak's motion picture film FAQ: "Why is the speed rating of motion picture camera films given in Exposure Indices rather than ASA or DIN values?
    There is no ANSI standard to determine the speed of these films.
    The speed of motion picture camera films and the suggested filtrations are determined on the basis of practical picture tests."

    Kodak is very careful regarding the statement of film response where exacting conditions are most important. IOW, testing under various circumstances is necessary. We all know that in practice.
