Thanks to all who replied. What I am going to do is first try using a PL
filter, and then move up from Superia 400 to Reala 100 or the new S400. I
might pop in a trial roll of Porta VC or it's Fuji equivalent if I can
find 12exp trial rolls. Most of my S400 prints have been nice and quite
satisfactory, but on some occasions, a bit of punch would be nice.
And now for something completely different: short of a handheld meter with
a backlit LCD screen, has anyone found a decent method of metering with an
OM1n in low light? I can't even see the needle move, sometimes. The FM2n's
LEDs would come in handy here....
