Simply put, I took the roll to CVS and they processed the film and put it on a cd for me. I do have a film scanner, but for $2.50, it is easier to have them do it. By the way, at CVS, you do not have to get the prints. So for the negatives, $2.50. cd $2.50 extra.Not bad I think.
No not bad at all.
But just the same try scanning them yourself. I'll bet they are less noisy. I've always noted a noise in CDs mastered in this way. Stopped doing it because of that and the color rendition just did not seem good either. See how somehow there is a pink cast to the sky in the first pictures..? I've seen that before. That's why I asked. I suspected it was processed for you.
I shoot a lot of film still. Like you I love my old manual cameras. I think I've already recommended Fuji Superia Reala to you. Not that expensive and well worth it for things that means something to you. By all means, use cheap stuff to play around, but also get some good stuff for once you are checked out. If you like the results with the cheap stuff...
Looks like your K1000 meter is spot on. Feed it some good film and keep up the good work.

The following were taken with a 1957 Pentax using Fuji Reala and subsequently scanned by me.
