I lugged my Mamiya C330 to a traditional Québecois singing session last weekend. I knew the room would be dark (I've been there before) so I loaded it up with Delta P3200 and brought my spotmeter so I could meter off faces that had a bit of light on them. But even so, the whole roll was badly underexposed. I was able to salvage a few, including this one.

You're getting a lot of great stuff out of it. My lab recently had one for sale at $100, and I was awfully tempted. Looked a bit rough at that price, though, and I figured a CLA would push me near $300+. I opted to slowly back away and pretend I never saw anything.

Get a IIa for less than a hundred bucks, send it to Paul Barden for a overhaul and you get the same lens and shutter as the IIIc in a much smaller package.

Yeah, I was lucky that mine was in pretty good shape before CLA. Good ones are out there though . . .

That's because that's the problem with Delta 3200, TMAX 3200 etc. They are natively ISO 800-1000 films so if you shoot at 3200, you need to push process 2 stops.
