What does D-76, mean ?
It seems that the camera I used - a Chinon CG-5 - has a better, more accurate meter, than my ME Super. Maybe I've just gotten better nailing exposure, as I used my ME Super longer ago, when I was less experienced.
The CG-5 does have an AE lock button (on the lens mount, opposite the lens release button, running parallel to the camera's length) but because of its awkward position, I don't use it much.
Dunno, maybe I'm just lucky. And remember, Tri-X has got a lot of latitude.
On a side note, if anyone sees a Chinon CG-5 up for sale, I highly recommend grabbing it. It is as good as anything Pentax made. Will probably be cheaper than an ME Super, the camera it most closely resembles in terms of features, because Chinon wasn't exactly a big name brand.
Like the ME-Super, the CG-5's got a stepless shutter in Av mode. Maybe that's how the exposure got nailed.
And Nachodog's already explained what D-76 is. D-76 and Tri-X is a great combo.
