Don't understand this:

Canon AF, 1/160, F8


Zenit B, 1/125, F8


Same light same subject. Is the Canon AF metering so much off or did I overprocess it or is the shutter just unreliable?

Processed with Agfa APX 400 D-76 for 8 minutes. Followed the Tri-X suggestion because didn't find the right time for Agfa. This one suggests 10½ minutes: http://web.tiscali.it/visualphoto/films/agfa-apx400.html that could also be the case because I messed somewhat with the tank Embarassed .

What does the actual B&W negative look like, and who printed/scanned it?

I'd rather say the Zenit was wrong. Wink

Have you used the same lens? Don't laugh. F8 is not f8 with different lenses.
And 1/125s lets more light through than 1/160s. Cool

I think I overcooked the film. Dark room temperature closer to 25 than 20 so I pressed the film by 2-3 stops. Shocked

That is actually good because good thermometers are cheaper than exposure meters. (Is there any below 100 € new)
