I'm really happy with it. Sold a Nikon N70 on ebay for a great price, got a
great Internet price on the N80 - I'm a happy camper! I love the dials for
setting f stop shutter and the grid lines.
I'll tell you, though, it's a complicated little machine. Tough for my
feeble old mind to remember

Lynn,
Actually we probably both had the same problem - if you don't specify with
the lab their machine
When I got my most recent camera (Nikon N80) I
took it out to test drive all the bells and whistles, including exposure
and
flash compensation.
Norman,
That's why I shoot test rolls on slide film -- no lab prints to
misinterpret. Slide film also has much less exposure latitude, of course, so

Tony,
What speed do you rate your T400CN ? I have just finished testing XP2 rated
400
I played with my exposures to see how the film would react to slight
under-exposure in an attempt to heighten the contrast a bit but only went
under by 1/2 stop. The film's latitude must be very wide as I couldn't
really detect any difference from 'properly' exposed shots.
RE: the pink cast on
They can't really think I wanted that, can they?
They may not have a choice. I'd guess that most minilabs would only have
colour paper, and it's just not possible to get true greyscale on colour
paper.
Well, we'll see. I finally got hold of a phone number for the Kodak lab.

I've been rating mine at EI250. The lack of grain is astounding.

ISO400 works well for me, although I'll increase it a bit if shadow detail
is the priority.

The coloured dye is, as far as I know, an anti halation coating. Most films

Without a doubt, Rob, that's the best answer re: fundamentals.
I've been shooting a lot of 400 speed, albeit quality films
(Supra, Fuji NPH). The Supra 400 isn't too bad at all, really,
but I've had some very grainy results shooting NPH with a flash.
