Disappointment!

The results from my Contax II are not good :-( The film has come over exposed, by several stops at least. I think the meter is at fault. I checked it briefly against my Weston meter and it seems to be reading only about 1 stop over. I have tried to recover the photos but they are not very good. These are the best:

I am particularly disappointed as I was trying out a new development process. These are taken on Ilford FP4+, developed in Rodinal (R09 as it is now called) 1+25, 9mins at 20C, 1 minute initial agitation then 1 inversion every 30 secs.

All of these were taken at  a shutter speed of 1/50sec. I think this may also be slow.

The rangefinder may be out too, as close up shots are out of focus. Oh well, better luck next time. When I win the lottery I will get this camera serviced!
