It just seems unlikely that the reflected light meter in the M6 gives a blacker black than compensation of -1 and -2 stops. Did you use flash after all?<< NO, I USED NATURAL LIGHT. >>i think your best bet is to have your lab contact print your entire roll. then you can see the effects of your experimentation. as a general rule, the contact print will be properly exposed when the unexposed portions of the film (areas around sprocket holes, leaders, interframe spaces) register at or near pure black on the print. << EXCELLENT IDEA. The whole problem with this "experiment" is that the photolab is a wildcard. I really should have used slides. However, since I've got the negatives I'll have them do a contact print and that should resolve the uncertainty. I'll report back at the end of the week. Paul - -- Paul Biba <paulkbiba@nac.net>
