Have the lab ballsed these up or have I misunderstood how sensitive ISO 50 film is? In particular shots with windows in them and any generally high dynamic range shot is trashed.[/QUOTE]
I don't think the lab have messed anything up - but you can check the writing on the film outside the sprockets - if it's nice and sharp and consistent along the length of the film, then I'd say the lab have done their job.
I think there is more detail in the bad example that can be brought out with a bit of contrast tweaking, but at the end of the day, the range of light in that example is beyond what most films could prabably handle - regardless of the box speed. The OM-10 does allow for exposure compensation (the red and blue numbers on the ISO dial), but using an iso 50 film will limit you to just one stop unless you have the manual adapter.
and who scanned them?
Who scanned them ?
Nothing overly different between what I did, camera is an OM-10 so meters automatically and from past experience been accurate.
How do you know how much to compensate I hear you ask? You don't, without spot metering it's guesstimate only, and that's why I hate anything other than spot metering.
I didn't consider doing that because I've never had to with other films I've used. The problem here is my lack of understanding that the ISO 50 would have much less latitude than what I'm used to. Lesson learned!
Could just let this thread slip off the edge but I just wanna say that PanF 50 does not have any less exposure latitude than most other b/w films, it sounds like a simple exposure miscalc, I do it all the time, trial and error is the name of the game anyway..
