Hi all, new to apug and shooting film. I bought a fuji dl-200 off of fleabay a bit back. I soldered new batteries (kind of a pain, because I had to buy two tape them together then solder them togeather then solder it to the camera). So I've been using primarily 400iso slide film in it and I really like the camera. I've also used fomapan r with great success. The only thing I don't like about the camera is there is no underexposure warning light (it does have ttl metering so I read). As others have said, the flash goes off with most lighting conditions that are not fully bright. I used a roll of superpan 200 in it over the holidays using a 200iso dx sticker. The days were wintry and overcast, and there were some inside shots with bright light and window light as well all with the flash triggered... but I thought was bright enough for 200 speed b&w. DR5 chrome contacted me to say all the shots were underexposed by what looked like 4-5 stops. He also said over half the fomapan r 100 was underexposed, which I can understand since it's a slow film and small lens. Am I just underexposing the film because of the small lens (2.8) size or is my camera buggy? Is there a good way to test this? I have a gossen luna pro light meter I can use against it, as well as a canon a1. I should also add that the dr5 chrome suggested speed for superpan 200 is 200iso. Any help would be appreciated.
I also need to add you can not test by opening the back up and shooting. It will not fire with the door open.
