Well, I had my first big goof shooting film this year. I picked up a Mamiya C330 yesterday, and I ran a roll of Arista 400 through it. Since the C330 doesn't have a meter, I used a meter app on my phone which has shown to match what my R5 and my Mamiya 645 meter at, so it's pretty accurate. Shot the roll, and was sitting at home later and opened the light meter app again....and realized I had shot the whole roll with the app set to -2 EC, which I had set when messing around with it and testing the features of it.
Ugh. Now, I had shot the roll at 200 instead of 400 due to some recommendations here, but that still left me a full stop underexposed for all shots, plus any errors I made it metering anyway. To compensate, I had to push process it to 800, and I only have Rodinal right now, which isn't really known as the best for fast films, nor push processing, but it is what it is. I also think I overdeveloped it, though I followed the Master Dev list for Foma 400 at 800 in Rodinal. (10 minutes at 1+25). So, learned a few lessons. The shots came out, though the negatives were very dense, and of course grain is high since it's a cheap film that was push processed in a developer known to keep grain strong, but what can you do.
