I've been using my Pentax ME Super to take black-and-white pictures using HP5 and Tri-X. So far I have been really pleased with the results. I should say that I mostly rely on the in camera metering system. I've just got the first roll of Kodak T-Max 100 back from the lab. The entire roll seems a little overexposed, with a narrow tonal range. Is this a characteristic of the film? I've ruled out the obvious mistake, that is not setting the camera film speed dial to 100! And as I've said I used the in camera metering for pretty much all of this roll. Any comments or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to check my photographs. The lens I used was the SMC Pentax-M 2.8 28mm. I grabbed it from eBay, it wasn't too expensive.

PS - if anybody else is on flickr please give me a shout and I'll add you to my contacts and have a look at your photos. Thanks

Hi there. I joined this forum while I was researching before buying a medium format camera. I was looking at the Pentax 645 but I ended up buying a Mamiya. Previously I was using a Pentax ME Super. I have posted a link to some photographs taken with this SLR using a 28 mm Pentax lens and HP5 or Tri-X black and white film. Photography is just a hobby for me but I find myself spending more and more time out taking photographs and browsing forums like this one.
