Arer these FP4+ results typical?

It is really rare for me to "need" more exposure than box speed.

f/11 vs f/16 is not about deviating from box speed. Just take a known good meter and measure in reflected light a number of sunlit scenes. Especially, but not only, landscapes with foliage.

Simple for me, the OP said so.

Then he knows what he's doing, and no need to show us a digital version of his pictures. You gave better advice in your post #5 of this thread.

I think the film looks normal. The light is a bit flat due to the overcast conditions.

The light metering has some emphasis on the sky, leading to some under-exposure of the ground. You can do a multi exposure scan to capture more detail and then bring up exposure a bit in post.

But I would say the film worked as it's supposed to.
