Most B&W films - actually, most negative films - have very substantial overexposure latitude. Without having seen your negatives or scans, my first guess would be that the negatives are probably OK but the scanning process was poorly calibrated and isn't doing them justice.Most of the shots came out over-exposed. Not horrendously, but pretty bad, enough to be rejects. I let the camera do the metering and left most shots at straight auto exposure, despite having read comments that the meter on this camera overexposes. This one I shot at 1/2 EC, which came out to 1/30 second....
Please give me your observations of what I did wrong or might have done better - taking the shot, trying to give instructions to the lab (I'm not ready to do my own developing or scanning), and post processing the scan.
