I can only control exposure. I can't believe you don't have the money (as you have stated) for pro-processing of your film. It should cost a few bucks per roll only, and they'll let you dictate what chemicals to use, at what temperature etc etc. Or they will go through some qualified path of trial and error to see what works for you. If you're really that badly out of cash after an F5 and M6, you should have gotten cheaper cameras. For the sort of photography you say you practice, you don't need the world finest optics, nor the fastest AF. Buy film instead, and have it processed by pros, and not by those one-hour kids who just lost their job flipping burgers at MacDonald's. Bernard.
