Just wanted to experience the old technology before it vanish or maybe to expensive to try in future... ;D

contrast very low. did u overexpose the 400CN? u will find that the negs will become thicker and contrast will improve. try shooting it from 1/3 to 1 stop over.

thanks for you advice. Is this also applicable to IS0400 color negative?
Is this somehow better contrast? I accidentally overexpose by 1/3 to 1/2 by using M.

I am thinking to try Ilford xp2 Super which is available at Foto Daya. The problem is I am not living in KL.. :( The Kodak i found in KL is going to expire in October.

it depends on which colour or monochrome neg.

in general, for colour negs, u can overexpose 1/3 stops e.g. if the film is ISO100, set the camera to ISO80. note that u DO NOT tell the lab to compensate. this varies for films like NPH and NPS or NPC and Fujipress

for 400CN (which is similar to the older T400CN), it should have very wide latitude. u can shoot from EI80 to EI800 with varying results. best to try overexposing 1 stop (set at ISO200 on camera). the ilford XP2, i had good results when setting the camera at IS250.

the camera brand also makes a slight difference with the canon metering's tendency to underexpose and nikon's to overexpose. YMMV.

too bad my camera can't override the ISO. is the old nikon F60 and the exposure compensation is 1/2 stop step. Just check the DX coding.. looks like I have no choice but to manually do exposure compensation compensate

[lanatir]

what? are u sure? even the basic EOS300 i used to use can change ISO

From photo.net

While the N60 does not have a ISO override feature (which is off course very valuable) you can indeed push film easily. For example, if you have ISO 100 film in the camera but would like to shoot at ISO 400 (push 2 stops), then you simple set the exposure compensation dial to +2 and leave it there for the whole roll. this is the SAME as setting the ISO override to 400. similarly, if you have ISO 200 film that you want to shoot at ISO 400, set the compensation dial to "+1".

From photo.net

yes u can do that but u would be losing the convenience. when shooting on a film camera, my experience is that when u set it via ISO override, i found it much easier to fire and forget. it is also safer since the camera will reset ISO on the next roll instead of one forgetting to reset the exposure compensation. that is exactly why i chose to tell the OP to compensate via ISO override (instead of the other 2 obvious means). anyway too bad that the N60 cant do this... so no choice but to use exposure compensation or manual
