Hi,
I hope you are well if you are reading this (and thankyou).
I recently purchased a Pentax 6x7 (having shot a Minolta Autocord TLR for a few years) because I love the 120mm. I wouldn't consider myself a novice or an expert when it comes to film photography but I understand enough to take an ok photo. APerture, DOF, shutter, ISO/ASA and all that jazz. I don't have a metered prism so I use sunny 16 or a 35mm camera with an innbuilt light meter that is reliable and checking against an iPhone app (you can call me out on this if you want, it's just my method). My problem is, the photos turn our real dodge. I have my film developed professionally by experts so that can't be the issue. They've suggest I have left the film in excessive heat, but I know I had not as I submitted some 35mm rolls I kept with the 120mm and they turned out fine. Could anyone offer some advice / suggestions on the photos below and what might the issue.... they do come out super grainy also. For the record, it was Portra 400 film. Fresh from the fridge.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have thought maybe a general service but I have to post away which is quite expensive.
Many thanks,
Sebastian
