Yeah I also went for the Hexar RF simply because it is still affordable and can do 1/4000, it is a ticking time-bomb as it is all electronic but I decided to get another one and just hope it doesn't die on me anytime soon, if it does then I will just go back shooting with my M3, or look into Zeiss as apparently that can still be worked on.
Updated Negative Lab Pro to v3 and roll analysis makes converting rolls so much easier.

Very nice! I always wanted to try a Hexar RF - it seems that's what a 'modern' M7 should be (minus auto wind - I love the Leica manual film action!). But have been scared away by the electronic failures w/ no-one apparently willing to work on them.
An M7 w/ a 1/4000 shutter and NO dx coding? Perfect.
Same. I think if they had made it lever advance I would have taken the risk. Though TBH this is the same issue with Xpan and people are dropping mad money on those.

I haven't seen Xpan failures like I have w the Konica. I guess Fuji makes a good camera.

Fuji Klasse W, Wolfen NC400 rated at 200. I'm thinking about returning the rest of my NC400 (6 rolls) because it really looks to me like very expired film. I'm giving it plenty of light, negs looks great on the light pad so exposure is correct, and yet it is super grainy and not very sharp at all.
It was sold/shipped w no expiration date anywhere, so I have a feeling I now know why. There are also little black specks on it, which looks like perhaps there was remjet on it which wasn't entirely removed?

I think it's expired AGFA stock. It has an orange base though, not a clear cine base?

What bothers me is B&H shows it 'boxed' etc. But they ship loose rolls. Boxed film has stuff like expiration dates etc. This really comes across as an amateur operation - bulk rolling old film into cheap cassettes. Slapping on cheap stickers which are peeling off. Pretending it is something special.
I 'only' paid $11.99/roll, but most places (and B&H normally) sell it for $18+ a roll. Which is a total rip now that I see what actually shows up. Expired poorly stored film.

I would be wary of a film with no edge markings. The results look good at first but a lot of grain.

On my light pad
Yeah thats cine base. It's supposed to be Agfa XT320 which hasn't been made since about 1994. Probably spooled from cold storage film.
The NC500 I got was pretty grainy too.

Carousel Museum, Albany, Oregon
M4-2, Voigtlander 28 2.8 Color Skopar V2, Tri-X @ ISO 200, Rodinal 50:1
The light was good but not quite enough of it. I could have used an extra stop or if I had some HC-110, used the Tri-X at box speed. Rodinal steals a stop to get better grain and I wanted to stay with a familiar dilution and time. I'll experiment later. The stills were 2.8 @ 1/60th, the motions were either 1/15th or 1/30th:
