Practika MTL3 - results

I've finally got round to getting the film developed from my tests with the camera, and the results were very good. Using the replacement battery (a 1.5V V625 from Maplin), and the built in light meter produced a whole film of shots with pretty good exposures. Nothing was under or over exposed.

Unfortunately Jessops completely arsed up the developing of this (and four other films) leaving scratch marks and (inexplicably) fingerprints all over the negatives. As a result I may have more luck, with some of the photos, scanning in the print rather than the negative. A few of the photos towards the end of the spool showed signs of light leakage, so this is something I will have to look into a bit more closely with the MTL3.
