I took the pentax LX out for a walk, loaded with ilford XP2 400. I was in luck I had my lunalite lightmeter with me as after 3 shots the batteries went dead (my fault for using expired batteries) the LX unlike the F3 has a wide range of mecanical speeds available so you can keep shooting without batteries. The shots made with the camera's light meter came out underexposed, while the ones I've "hand" measured came out OK. Apparantly it is better to expose XP2 at 200 rather than 400ISO PS. sorry for the dust in the frames, I didn't bother to retouch them
