Night photography still remains the ultimate challenge to me in film photography. The internal meter in the Pentax MX did a pretty good job.
However without editing the shots would not be fully to my liking - contrast for example, or some artifacts. I am not sure of parts of it is related to the scanning.... Anyhow, this means I need to shot even more and become better
I take the chance to give a strong recommendation for darktable, which is an excellent tool for photographers in many ways!
Pentax MX | SMC A 28mm F2 | Cinestill 800tI personally err on the side of lots of overexposure at night. Lately I just take a meter reading with my phone app and then plug in the reading into the reciprocity timer app. Then I usually add even more time on, sometimes doubling it.
Sorry for a late reply. Yes I overexpose as well, though there is a limit for shooting handheld, even with ISO 800 and fast lenses. Still contemplating between SLR (Pentax or Canon EF w/ 35mm F1.2 or F2 with IS) and the M4P....
A friend let me try out his Fuji GA645Zi. This is with a role of Kentmere 400. Colors are at the lab being processed. This is about as simple a medium format camera as there is. Fun!
more of the mju and f200 from the local state park. Dreary day with not much light. I am sure the lens was at f3.5 and the shutter speed was super low.
