These are quite enchanting, and I'm so glad you are giving us these to adore.

This is really nice, lovely vintage 'feel'.

I notice that your pictures with the new PX 100 seem darker than many of the others posted online, some of which seem pretty overexposed. Any hints? (other than turning camera dial to dark, shooting in flat light, not allowing the picture to develop in cold temperature and keeping it dark when developing (although this seems a long list of do's and dont's :smile:

).

I wondered about using an improvised orange filter to bump the contrast a bit when I first shoot? I'm waiting on my film order to plop through my letterbox anyday now...

Cheers,
Gavin

Keeping it dark when developing seems to be essential... not overheating it (or else it goes orange at least from my observations on the PX100 group on flickr)... It's perfectly suitable for soft, window light "studio" work. Beyond that ...
It seems like people just really really want to shoot in direct sunlight outside. Or outside at all. So they just repeat their mistakes again and again. So the best advice to give is... patiently wait 5 minutes for the picture to fully develop in the dark and evaluate your results carefully. Think of what you can do to change it, make the change (one at a time so you can narrow it down and learn), take another picture and wait to see how that turns out.
I've not tried filters, these are just the camera and my brain working out what's good and what sucks :smile:
