My first vintage 'found film' experience! Bought a Kodak Six-20 A and it had a part-used film in it. Lumiere Altipan, only made (in France) between 1949 and 1965. Test strip in ID-11 1+1 showed it needed +60% dev time. Developed it and got these two images — Dieppe harbour and Pont L'Eveque. 😊

At least it seems to be reading sensibly on my home-made meter calibration checker. It's just a video light in a 3D-printed housing, with a Cokin-A filter holder, ND filters, and an LV lookup table. The light meter is just to easily convert EV figures into f-stop & shutter speed combinations.

I think I might have fixed the faulty meter in my OM-1. Seems to have been an intermittent bad contact on the main switch. Removed switch, polished contacts, tweaked the wipers for a firmer contact, tidied the wiring. Fingers crossed.
