I think this is the major issue, as spot sensor overlaps the split

here in Germany there are two 110 films still available, the AGFA Vista 200 and
a Fujicolor 200. Both films have 200 ASA, so a 100 ASA or 400 ASA film is not

My appologies if my earlier statements led you to believe that I faulted
