I'm guessing: I believe Auto Sensivity should be turned off when using a
flash. I'm not shure the camera will be able to shift sensitivity this
fast - I mean, when you press the release button half way down to focus, the
camera will adjust sensivity to a very low light situation (400-1600).
Beautiful image. Great composition and frame. It's a special moment

If you are using a non hardening fixer, you can just add hardener to the
fixer if you like.
Most films (I don't know the one in question) come pre hardened from the

Hardening also makes the emulsion much harder to wash.

If the film speed only goes to 1600, it's a very early model. But it has
apparently been upgraded with new parts during service. That's a good thing. I
