Test roll for Pentax ME Super with Pentax SMC-M 50mm/1.7 lens, UV filter, Arista 200, Ilford DD-X 1+4, 6 min, 68F. The sun was low, and I set out to try to show the forms of some local trees before they leaf out. I was pointing the camera mostly toward the sky. The results are not altogether what I expected.

    Not as contrasty as my limited experience might suggest.

    Right. I think in future I'll consider overexposing slightly from what camera meters suggest. I really like the camera and lens but ended up sending it back because there was haze over half the focusing screen, which had not been disclosed in the description on eBay. It's getting difficult to find cameras of this vintage in good condition, let alone at a reasonable price.
