Thanks Philippe,
Details,
These are B&W negatives developed and scanned at my local Fuji lab using
I believe one of their frontier machines.
The + - expo compensation is as you described on the R7 but I never use
it because it is quite awkward to manipulate. Easier to use manual mode
and compensate via shutter speed.
Lens is fully closed down but I must admit that at times I have failed
to reset after changing shooting modes, eg, from aperture priority back
to program ... maybe that's the issue.
Here are a couple sequential frames shooting the same scene. I'm pretty
sure both were taken in program mode with the lens stopped down to min
aperture ... but I can't be certain.
OK
