Guys, if you are shooting film to test exposure accuracy, use transperancy
film. The automatic printer will mask exposure errors by adjusting the
print exposure if you use negative film and take it to a lab. If you print
your own negatives you can draw conclusions, otherwise use slide film.

Hello Keith,
<<I'm also having overexposure problems with my XA, which was stored in its
box, unused for about five years and the cause is very obvious - I can hear
and see that the shutter is much slower than the speed indicated in the
viewfinder.>>
My inexperienced ear can't hear anything amiss in the shutter speed. I shot
some experimental rolls yesterday and I'll take them in to be processed as
soon as I post this. I tried a roll of 100 ASA and a roll of 200 ASA
bracketing the shots using the ASA setting. We'll see what happens.
Eric
